moray eels – BettSplendens Tumblr Evac

Here is a short video of Pizza doing his begging dance. He’s so chonky but he still wants more shrimps!

i went diving a few days ago and encountered some good boys ™ that i knew you would appreciate. both of the green morays were like 6 feet long and very angery, but the spotted moray was more shy – @rrecollection

Look at those beautiful boys™ !! I’m so jealous! I would love to go diving!

I love the face on the spotted guy he’s like “HhhMmmMMmmmmm… 8/ ?”

Morays are awesome fish. They aren’t aggressive fish, not really, they won’t go at you unless you get close to them and threaten their space. If you watch ‘em from a distance, they don’t mind you.

Friendly Eel – Video

I would REALLY not suggest hand-feeding an eel that big. A guy did that off a dive tour boat and lost his thumb because the eel got ahold of the thumb instead of the food. They aren’t aggressive, but they can do a lot of damage by mistake. It’s not a good idea to teach them that food is available near you.

They do, however, enjoy petting. I wouldn’t hug one, just in case they object, and definitely don’t go and try to touch a random one, but moray eels aren’t aggressive animals. They defend their holes from intruders, and that’s about it.
