Description
Description

Instead of swimming, the Fimbriated moray(Gymnothorax fimbriatus) will move in a snake-like fashion, made possible by its serpent-like body dotted in black spots. The fish falls under the family Muraenidae and also goes by the names spot-face moray and dark-spotted moray. This mysterious creature lacks pectoral and pelvic fins, prefers lagoons, harbors, top reefs, and coral reefs of Indo-Pacific waters hiding in holes and crevices with other morays. Other features of the fimbriated moray include white dressing on the mouth, a head with a tapered snout, acute perception, and sharp teeth. Besides being carnivorous, it also shows hermaphroditism or intersex.
