$White Ribbon Eel Pseudechidna brummeri occurs in the tropical Indo-Pacific from the western Indian Ocean to Samoa, north to the Ryukyu Islands in a depth range from 1 to 8m, max. length 103cm. \nThe solitary species inhabits reef flats and shallow lagoons, usually buried in the sand or rubble. Occasionally (like in this case) seen swimming between its burrows in shallow protected areas. Pseudechidna brummeri is a nocturnal predator known for its ambush hunting of small fish and crustaceans. \nAn unexpected discovery in the North-East Atlantic, in Portugal, occurred 2023. \nThe species may have been introduced through ship ballast water, a common pathway for the unintentional transport of aquatic organisms. Given the proximity of a large port, this possibility gains significance. \nThis specimen was encountered in the Lembeh Strait, Indonesia.\n1°27'21.828 N 125°13'37.884 E at 2m depth$

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$

$The moray eel, a captivating resident of the Red Sea, Egypt, is a fascinating marine predator often spotted by divers exploring the region's vibrant coral reefs. Known for their elongated, serpentine bodies and sharp, protruding teeth, these eels are both striking and essential to the reef ecosystem.\n\nThe most common species in the Red Sea include the giant moray (Gymnothorax javanicus), which can grow up to 3 meters long, and the yellow-edged moray (Gymnothorax flavimarginatus). They are typically found hiding in crevices or coral structures during the day, with only their heads visible, waiting to ambush prey like fish, crustaceans, and cephalopods.\n\nDespite their fearsome appearance, moray eels are shy and non-aggressive unless provoked. They open and close their mouths frequently, not as a sign of aggression, but to breathe through their gills. Encounters are common at renowned dive sites like Ras Mohammed, the Brothers Islands, and Tiran Island.\n\nMoray eels also play a key role in the health of the reef by controlling prey populations and contributing to the intricate food web. However, divers are advised to respect their space and avoid sudden movements to ensure both human and animal safety.\n\nObserving a moray eel in its natural habitat is a thrilling experience, offering a glimpse into the Red Sea’s rich underwater world and its diverse marine life.$

$Greyface Moray Gymnothorax thyrsoideus (ex. Siderea thysoidea) occurs in the tropical Indo-Pacific from Christmas Island to French Polynesia, north to the Ryukyu Islands and south to Tonga and throughout Micronesia in a depth range from 0 to 30m, usually 1 to 4m, max. length 73cm. It is a fairly common inhabitant of reef flats where it is usually encountered in shallow tidal pools. The species feeds on crustaceans, small fishes and octopi. Gymnothorax thyrsoideus usually lives in pairs like these two specimens or in small aggregations, and shares habitat with other morays. \nLembeh Strait, Indonesia \n1°28'53.6382 N 125°15'13.4499 E at 17m depth$
