| − | :It is not possible to visually sex this fish. | + | |tank_compatibility=:Should not be kept with smaller fish or invertebrates such as shrimp as these may well be eaten. Is otherwise peaceful although it will defend its cave. Hunts by smell so at feeding time tank mates may get bitten if they get in the way. |

| − | + | |behaviour=:A predator who hunts by smell rather than sight and will not only bite tank mates but also the hand that feeds so care should be taken when doing tank maintenance or feeding. They will establish themselves a cave, or "lair", and defend this from other fish. It will rest with its head outside of lair and mouth open to provide it with extra oxygen. | |
| − | + | |identification=:Typical Moray in shape with a very elongate slender snake-like body with a large mouth. The body is brown/black in colour with yellow/olive fins. It will have white, pink or red spots on its cheeks giving it its common names. It has a blunter head compared to other well known Morays and is one of the smaller fish of the species. | |
