Puhi--White Mouthed Moral Eel


Interesting little guy. First time I have seen him. His head was poking out of some coral just like in this photo.

The moray eel breathes by rhythmically opening and closing its mouth to move water over its gills.  Some moray eels have blunt teeth that are used to crush invertebrates, but many moray species have needle-sharp teeth.
