Muraena lentiginosa

Moray eels can obtain a reaction from spectators like no other fish can. They don’t need a ton of room as long as you keep them well fed. They do best with lots of hiding spaces. The Jeweled Eel may need a few days to acclimate. They will typically readily take to thawed silversides but do not do this with your hands. Eel bites take a long time to heal, and hurt pretty bad. They are nocturnal feeder and should be fed when the lights are off in the aquarium. These are escape artists, so keep a tight lid on the aquarium to prevent getting an eel on your carpet. The Jeweled Eel will grow to be about 2 feet in length. They inhabit the crevices of shallow waters in the Eastern Pacific up to 25 meters deep.
