Yellow Edged Moray
Hi! I’m a Yellow Edged Moray
The Yellow Edged Moray is found in the Indo-Pacific and east Pacific region. They live in rocky areas and reef flats, and feed on cephalopods, fish, and crustaceons. Morays are escape artists, as they can easily move loose lids and glass covers.
The National Zoo & Aquarium is home to 1 Yellow Edged Moray, Nate.
