Reclusive Zebra Moray Eel

A Zebra Moray Eel in the waters off Hawaii

I only saw this eel because I passed directly over it. It was lodged in crack and not moving. I waited a while and eventually it backed out and revealed its head and a beady eye looking at me!

A good-looking eel but I can see why it would be difficult to spot.

  Like all eels, it can squeeze into the tightest places.
