The honeycomb moray is a heavily patterned eel with a dark body covered in a distinctive reticulated pattern of lighter lines—hence the name. Found in coral and rocky reefs across the Indo-Pacific, it hides in crevices during the day and emerges at dusk to hunt small fish and crustaceans. Divers often spot it peering from reef holes; approach slowly and give it space, as morays can be defensive if cornered.
