The giant moray is one of the largest eel species, recognizable by its robust body, broad head, and powerful jaws lined with sharp teeth. Found in Indo-Pacific reefs, it typically hunts at night from crevices and rocky hideouts, emerging to feed on fish and octopus. Divers often spot it during the day resting in caves or under ledges; approach slowly and keep a respectful distance, as it can bite if startled or cornered.
