Green Moray

iNaturalist · CC0

Several large individuals inhabit the deep ledges on the leeward face, their yellow-green iridescence muted against the sponge-covered rock. They are cooperative hunters with roving grouper — a mutualism where the grouper signals prey location and the moray flushes it from crevices. The protected waters have allowed these individuals to reach lengths exceeding 2 m, making them among the largest morays regularly encountered on Cuban reefs.
