The moray eel is actually a family of eels clearly distinguished by their massive heads, pharyngeal jaws, and striking coloration. With over 200 distinct species, moray eels are found across the world in both marine and freshwater environments. Though some species live in rivers and colder, temperate, marine waters, most moray eel species thrive on the world ™s coral reefs. The Giant Moray Eel is among the largest coral reef predators, reaching lengths of 10 feet or more. Though many of the 200+ species are much smaller than this, all morays are very capable predators. Morays are known to cooperatively hunt with other species of fish. In fact, the two animals have even developed a head-nod technique signaling the start of the hunt. Plus, morays display a striking array of different colors and patterns. Many people wonder if they can eat a moray eel “ and the answer is most definitely not. While many people have gotten away with it, many others have gotten very sick. In fact, one moray eel once poisoned nearly 57 people who had a piece. The reason is one that prohibits people from eating many types of predators. Predators tend to accumulate toxins from the foods they eat. Even herbivorous fish may accumulate toxins from the algae they eat, but these toxins will be much less concentrated. As the toxins move up the food chain, their concentration increases at each trophic level. Moray eels are apex predators “ so they have the potential to store a huge amount of toxins from the entire food chain.
