Leopard Moray Eel

Post by fabindia »

10th November, 2018.

I was just snorkeling off Long Beach, Phi Phi Island, Thailand, when I spotted this moray eel hiding in some hard coral. I had to go back to the beach to get my camera and when I got back it had gone.

Fortunately, I spotted it swimming its way back to its home in the crack in the coral and managed to get a few seconds of it hiding itself away again.

The video is a bit jerky, as I had to get down quick and back up quick as I really had no time to catch a decent breath to stay under longer :-D
