Nice! That's a bucket-list fish for me . . . and probably the only noodle of doom I could bring home without getting scolded by the missus.

Watch your fingers! 🖐️😆
Oh he got me good when I was transferring him to the tank 😂

Yikes! Did you have a doc check out the bite? Better safe than sorry. You never know what nastiness lurking in an eel's teeth.

All three of the species lumped in the "yellow head moray" moniker tend to be curmudgeonly. Although, I did see a video of divers sitting on the ocean floor interacting with a "friendly" undulated moray. I couldn't help thinking if that had been my undulated, that video would've turned into a horror story about two minutes in. 😆

That is fun to watch. Only one of mine, Buttercup, comes out to explore regularly. Gollum usually just pokes his head out. Even during feedings, most of his body stays in the rocks.
Awe! Its cool how much personality they have!

Bumping this.

My Brazilian bioluminescent eel is a cool looking one that glows a neon green under UV light. He shares a 330 gal. with a Dwarf Golden Hawaiian eel and a Snowflake. I'm currently looking at getting a Yellow mouthed Moray this weekend.

I was finally able to get a decent sized gymnothorax fimbriatus! (He was also the eel who earned an achievement for surviving 8.5 days in a bag due to shipment delay)
