More about Dragon moray eel
The Dragon moray eel (Enchelycore pardalis) is known for its striking appearance, characterized by a vibrant mix of orange, white, and black markings across its long, snake-like body. It has an intimidating look, enhanced by its large, protruding teeth. This species is native to the Indo-Pacific region, thriving in reefs where it hides in crevices. While it's a well-known species among marine aquarium enthusiasts due to its unique appearance, it's not commonly kept due to its size, specific care requirements, and potential aggressiveness, making it suitable mostly for advanced hobbyists.
