Best of Mike #31

This really was the trip where small eels seemed to put themselves in picturesque locations and then wait for a photographer.

Can't you just imagine this eel, swimming in thru the hole in the top left corner of the frame and then tucking himself in behind the coral plate.

I thought the Christmas Tree Worm at the bottom of the frame added a nice touch of extra detail to the pixture.

The Chain Moray has heavy body, brown or black, with yellow markings that resemble the links of a chain.

They prefer shallow clear water reefs or rocky shores.

They will hide in recesses during the day, maybe with a head poked out to see what's going on around them.

At night, they are out in the open, to forage, occasionally in the tidal zones where they feed on crabs.
