Jewel Moray Eel

The jewel moray is a long slender Moray eel that has black coloring and has pale yellow and green spots. It likes to live around coral reefs in relatively shallow water. If you go looking for jewel moray, you'll likely find them within a depth range of 5 m to 25 m. They are located in the eastern Pacific Ocean, and there is a large population around the Galapagos Islands. The jewel moray can be identified by a very compressed head and jaw. It has a very narrow a sharp pointed jaw.

It has very sharp teeth that are slightly curved and are hooked backwards. The jewel moray remains undercover in cracks and crevices and small caves during the day. It hunts at night, like most other Moray eels. It constantly opens and closes its mouth, which allows it to breed. This is not threatening action. Like most other Moray eels, the jewel moray eat small fish and other crustaceans that they find near their home. If you have one in your aquarium, you should feed it small life fish, as well as small shrimp. You should feed your eel small pieces of fish and shrimp that are not to big, or else your moray will not be able to eat it.

You should try your best to get your eels food live from your local pet store. If it is not possible though, don't worry. Your moray eel will eat small chunks of fish from the grocery store, as well as small frozen cocktail shrimp. Just make sure to shrimp and fish are thoroughly flawed before you feed your eel. When you're feeding your jewel moray eel, never put your hand in the tank. Just drop the food from above the water and then close the lid on your aquarium. This Moray eels are not as common as some other breeds of morays. You might have to look pretty hard to find a jewel moray in a pet store, and may have to order one if you want for your aquarium. These are not eels that beginners should have, and you should have a large amount of knowledge and experience with other eels before you attempt to keep one of these in captivity.
