Best of Mike #291

This is a Spotted Moray.

This one is a creative fellow giving us a "hanging from above" look that you don't often see.

My guess is that he was on his way to wherever he intended to hole up.... and we interrupted that journey.

Normally, they hide in a recess somewhere with just their head poking out. Unless they are out to forage.... which they are known to do both during the day and at night.

If you were to observe him for a while.... you would notice that he is constantly opening and closing his mouth. This is not a threat, it is the action that is required for their respiration.
