Description
The Zebra Moray Eel is a large, striking saltwater eel with a thick body patterned in bold black and white or cream vertical bands. It is known for its blunt snout and specialized crushing teeth used to eat hard-shelled prey. Despite its intimidating appearance, it is generally one of the more docile moray eels when housed appropriately.

No
Environment
Requires a spacious marine aquarium with stable water quality, abundant live rock or secure caves for hiding, and a tightly sealed lid to prevent escape. Best kept in tropical saltwater conditions with strong filtration and stable salinity, temperature, and pH.
Behavior
Secretive and primarily nocturnal, spending much of its time hiding in rock caves and crevices. It may become more visible at feeding time and is generally calm toward suitably sized fish but can eat crustaceans and other invertebrates.
