An eel swimming in the open is always exciting… but is most often not a good photo opp.

Generally they are on a mission to get from one coral outcrop to the next.

And they are hunting… which involves sticking their head into openings and under ledges.

My belief is that if you don’t get the eye(s) then you don’t have a pixture worth keeping… which is tough when he keeps sticking his head into things.

This morning we saw a Brown Spotted Moray doing all the above… but I was able to think far enough ahead of him to get this shot.
