Peppered Moray Eels live in shallow waters, including tide pools and ponds. My fish book describes them as bold and active, and notes that they will even launch themselves out of the water, onto the rocks, trying to catch crabs, their primary prey.
So it’s somewhat surprising that, while I have probably seen glimpses of this eel, these are the first photos I’ve taken of one. This one was swimming along and, obligingly, continued to do so for a while, without disappearing into a crack or hole.

I must say it doesn’t look capable of launching out of the water, but stranger things have happened in nature.

I was talking with a man just the other days about eels, and he described seeing one do just that. I’d love to see that.

Eels would have to be the strangest looking water creatures

They are odd, though I can think of several water creatures that are more bizarre!
