Care notes
One of the more peaceful morays. Specialized crustacean eater—will devour shrimp and crabs. Notorious escape artist; absolutely sealed lid required. Long-lived (10+ years).
Check the whole aquarium. Tank size alone does not establish compatibility. Confirm adult size, water overlap, social grouping, territory, diet, and the individual animals before stocking.
