Giant morays have moved into the larger void spaces within the artificial reef structure, becoming one of the most reliably photographed species at the site. They form mutualistic cleaning relationships with wrasse, holding their mouths open for extended periods while cleaner fish remove parasites and food debris. Their role as nocturnal apex predators of fish and octopus helps regulate the reef's trophic structure.
