Info
This moray has a uniform dark brown body, the pores along the upper and lower jaws are in bright spots; the iris in the eyes of the moray is yellow.
Enchelycore carychroa lives hidden in coral,and rocky reefs of the Caribbean, but also occurs in the Gulf of Mexico.
The predator prefers mobile benthic crustaceans, small fish and various cephalopods (octopuses, squid and cuttlefish) as prey.
Jumping guard
A jumping guard prevents (nocturnal) fish from jumping out.
Wrasses, blennies, hawkfishs and gobies jump out of an unprotected tank in fright if their night rest is disturbed, unfortunately these jumpers are found dried up in the morning on carpets, glass edges or later behind the tank.

A small night light also helps, as it provides the fish with a means of orientation in the dark!
