More about Whitemouth moray eel
The Whitemouth moray eel (Gymnothorax meleagris) is characterized by its unique coloration—typically a black or dark body with a distinctive white mouth. Originating from the Indo-Pacific region, this species is notable for its elongated body and the absence of pectoral fins, typical of moray eels. Despite its striking appearance, it is not among the most popular species within the aquarium hobby, mainly due to its size and specific care requirements.
