Description
The Snowflake Moray Eel is a visually captivating saltwater species known for its distinct snowflake-like pattern of black, white, and yellow markings. It is a semi-aggressive carnivore that requires a diet rich in meaty foods such as shrimp, fish, and squid. Despite its size, growing up to 24 inches in length, it is a popular addition to home aquariums due to its manageable care requirements.
While generally reef safe, caution is advised as the Snowflake Moray may consume small invertebrates in the tank. It is also known for being an excellent escape artist, so tanks must have secure lids. This species thrives in stable, well-maintained water conditions and provides a unique, active presence in the tank. Ideal for experienced aquarists seeking an intriguing predator for their setup.
