More about Yellowhead moray eel

The Yellowhead moray eel (Gymnothorax fimbriatus) is a marine fish characterized by its distinctive yellow head, transitioning to a brown or olive body with fine, dark speckling. It originates from the Indo-Pacific region. This species can be recognized by its elongated body and the typical moray eel appearance of a wide mouth and sharp teeth. It is not particularly well-known or common in the aquarium hobby, primarily due to its size and specific care requirements.
