Food
The Laced moray is highly sought after by photographers who do not hesitate to go on night dives to increase their chances of spotting it hunting. By day, its head can be seen protruding from the hole, ready to come out as soon as a fish passes within its reach. Thanks to her fine and sharp teeth, she grabs it ferociously without any risk of it escaping.
Breeding
The Laced moray lay eggs from which emerge larvae resembling small ribbons.
