The ribbon moray eel, also known as the dragon moray, is a striking species of eel characterized by its long, slender body and vibrant coloration. It belongs to the Muraenidae family, which includes various species of moray eels. Ribbon moray eels are typically found in tropical and subtropical waters of the Indo-Pacific region, inhabiting coral reefs and rocky areas.
These eels are named for their ribbon-like appearance, with intricate patterns of yellow, black, and white along their bodies. They can grow to impressive lengths, reaching up to 2 meters (6.6 feet) in some cases.
Ribbon moray eels are carnivorous predators, feeding primarily on small fish, crustaceans, and other marine creatures. They have sharp teeth and a strong bite, which they use to capture their prey.
Despite their fearsome appearance, ribbon moray eels are generally not aggressive towards humans unless provoked. Like other moray eels, they can be encountered by divers exploring coral reefs, where they often hide within crevices or burrows during the day and venture out to hunt at night.
