| Fast Facts |
This elongate, thin moray is tan with a white dorsal fin margin. When it moves it does so in a very exaggerated serpentine fashion. It is a very cryptic, spending most of its time hiding among the aquarium decor. Be ware, this eel is particularly adept at finding small holes to crawl out of. This species does best if kept in a specimen tank (on its own). You can keep more than one in the same tank. Provide with plenty of hiding places and sand on the bottom of the tank. A cave or pile of rubble may be used as a shelter site.
