Album Info:

(DSC05164) At the Oceanarium "Laot" (Fishing Grounds): Snowflake Moray Eel or "Igat" (Echidna nebulosa) is found between rocks and corals of inter-tidal reef flats of the Indo-Pacific region, including the Philippines; also found in shallow lagoon and seaward reefs. It grows to a maximum length of 1 m., and has a life span of 15 to 20 years. It feeds mainly on crustaceans. The Snowflake Moray Eel is a large fish with no pectoral or pelvic fins, but has an extraordinary strong body that it uses to swim through the water like a snake does on land. The fish has a big mouth. (Taken from the aquarium's adjacent signage)

    • Amazing coloration - out of the ordinary - as one generally thinks of - even for the large variety of colorful tropical species (I say).
