SNOWFLAKE MORAY Echidna nebulosa
« »
This species is easily recognized by its snow white nose with yellow nostrils and yellow and black markings across the body. It can be found on most of our dive sites. It hides in cracks under the corals on the reefs and under moorings and sponges on the muck sites. During night dives is often seen in the open looking for food. Mostly solitary, but can be sharing its hide out with other moray species.
