Description
Laced moray (Gymnothorax favagineus) is an Indo-Pacific marine eel that inhabits crevices within coral reefs. The laced moray is a carnivore that sits in its lair to ensnare smaller fish, octopi, squid, and cuttlefish. While this species does not often come into contact with humans, caution should be exercised near the laced moray because it has a sharp bite.
