peppered moray eel Gymnothorax pictus

            I don't expect this one to get many views. Lets face it - most people do not like eels! 

This is one of the larger eels that we see and also one of the most shy.  Usually only the head is visible so I can give no idea of the length, but often the body is about the size of a human thigh.  

Usually to get a photo of these I hide behind a rock so the eel can't see me and then bob up and grab a shot before he retreats back into his hiding place. This one was more cooperative.
