Puhi--Dwarf Golden Moray

Sarah found this little moray at Two Steps today and showed it to me. Quite cute, but before we went snorkling, we went to a dive shop and while talking to one of the sales ladies, she showed us a bandaged finger. She was scuba diving and a moray eel attacked her finger. She had to have 33 stitches and says she has no feeling in her finger.


Small size, mustard colored head, sometimes dark markings on the body, and iridescent blue iris. Usually no longer than 10 inches. A shy, but common species that is seldom seen in the open.
