Dragon Moray Eels, also known as Enchelycore pardalis, are fascinating creatures found in the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific region.
-
Dragon Moray Eels are ambush predators, hiding in crevices and caves during the day and emerging at night to hunt for small fish, crustaceans, and cephalopods.
-
Finding it during the day was a real blessing! Due to its shy nature, it took ages to be able to get this shot on camera... need to plan a night dive at the same spot!

Evolution of our society should not mean destroying the delicate ecosystem that surrounds us. Progress should be done in harmony with nature.
