Description
California moray (Gymnothorax mordax) is a moray eel that lives in the eastern Pacific Ocean. The california moray eats lobsters, as well as shrimp and octopi. This species has teeth that fold back as its prey is swallowed. They may bite careless divers, but are fun to look for, behind the safety of glass, at many public aquariums.
