Brown moray
Dive and observe the Brown moray
The Brown moray has a brown snake-like body and no pattern. Its head is darker.
Its average size is 80 cm, with a maximum of 1.10 m.
It is found on plateaus, on rocky coasts, rough sand, gravel, crevasses, small caves.
When it feels attacked, it can bite. A bite creates a wound that gets infected quickly because the moray eel has a lot of bacteria in its mouth. We often see a small shrimp cleaning the teeth of morays.
