Latin Name

Gymnothorax melatremus

Common Name

Also known as

Dwarf Moray

Fast Facts

The smallest in the genus, Gymnothorax melatremus grows to only about 12". Although it is found throughout the Indo-Pacific, it is rarely seen because of its reclusive nature and small size. The color of this eel is a dirty yellow color with speckling on the body with blue eyes. They are not bright yellow like in this well known photo, which is a freak specimen which would sell for $1500. Nonetheless, these eels are extremely popular, nearly impossible to get, and everybody wants one, and loves 'em even though they aren't $1500 bright yellow freaks. ACT IMMEIDATELY and SHIP ON MONDAY when in stock! In captivity they are seldom aggressive, and odds as it sounds, they're popular in reef tanks with small fish such as Cirrhilabrus sp. fairy wrasses. Generally accepting frozen food, we have never had to offer live food to these eels. Their typical size is around 7"-10", about the diameter of a pen.
