Description It occurs on both lagoon and seaward reefs to depths of at least 46 m. It feeds primarily on fishes and occasionally on crustaceans. This is the largest moray eel, perhaps reaching 3 m in length. Because of its position at the top of the reef's food chain it is often ciguatoxic. Attack humans when provoked (Ref. 3132). [details]
