Description: The Chestnut Moray is the smallest species of Enchelycore Eel that is endemic to the Caribbean. They are rusty brown in color with white-yellow spots along their face. Their teeth are always visible as they have an angled jaw. This fish may be shy at first and will appreciate plenty of rock work and crevices to hide in. They are strictly carnivorous and will only need 3 feedings per week. A tight-fitting lid is highly recommended as these guys are great escape artists.
