More about Jeweled moray eel
The Jeweled moray eel (Muraena lentiginosa) is characterized by its distinctive coloration, featuring a mix of creamy-yellow to white background with black spots that give it a "jeweled" appearance. It originates from the Eastern Pacific region. This species of moray eel has an elongated body typical of morays, with a slightly compressed tail. While it is recognized and appreciated by some enthusiasts for its striking appearance, the Jeweled moray is not among the most popular or well-known in the aquarium hobby, likely due to its specific care requirements and size.
