COMMON NAME - Chestnut Moray (Viper Moray)
SIZE - 13.4" (34 cm)
MIN. AQUARIUM SIZE - 20 US Gal. (76 L)
FOODS AND FEEDING - Marine meaty fare, fresh and forzen fish, crustacean flesh, live feeder fish, grash shrimp, fee minimum 2 times per week to satiation
REEF COMPATIBILITY - Will eat ornamental crustaceans, small fish, can topple coral and loose rock work
CAPTIVE CARE - Fairly shy and can be kept in a small aquarium with several hiding places. This species will eat any fish small enough to swallow. It is usually not aggressive, but only one should be kept per tank. It can be kept with other small moray species, but do not keep with large eels. This species will escape through small openings in the aquarium cover and from open tanks, so a tight fitting cover is a must.
