The snowflake moray is easily recognised by the beautiful pattern that covers its body, similar to flakes of snow. It is a placid and timid animal, which shelters in cracks and holes of coral reefs. It lives in shallow water, up to 10 m deep, and is commonly found in pools during low tide. Here, it feeds on urchins and crabs, which it crushes with its sharp teeth that are especially adapted for this job. This is considered to be the most harmless of all morays, although it can bite when provoked.

$Starry Moray or Snowflake Moray Echidna nebulosa has an impressive distribution area, occurs in the tropical Indo-Pacific from the Red Sea and East Africa and the Persian Gulf to the Society Islands, north to southern Japan and the Hawaiian Islands, south to Lord Howe Island and throughout Micronesia. The nocturnal species also occurs in the Eastern Central Pacific in the southern Baja California, in Mexico and from Costa Rica to northern Colombia and it is also found in the Southeast Atlantic. \nEchidna nebulosa occurs between rocks and corals of intertidal reef flats, also in shallow lagoon and seaward reefs in a depth range from 0 to 48m, max. length 100cm. The solitary species feeds mainly on crustaceans. \nLembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, Indonesia \n1°28'22.56 N 125°14'3.888 E at 5m depth$

Dragon or Leopard Moray Eel Enchelycore pardalis occurs in the tropial Indo-Pacific from Reunion to the Hawaiian, Line and Society islands, north to southern Japan and southern Korea, south to New Caledonia in a depth range from 5 to 60m, max. length 92cm. The species is very rarely observed in the Society Islands archipelago, but more frequently at the foot of the Marquesan cliffs. It is a critical species confined to rocky coastal areas. The posterior nostrils are enlarged and often mistaken for horns. When disturbed, Dragon Moray quickly adopts a threatening posture with its dorsal fin raised and jaws wide open. The species is generally encountered solitary, occasionally in pairs. Today, this moray eel is still used in traditional Marquesan medicine (after cooking), particularly in the treatment of certain skin conditions.
