More Details

General info about Fire Coral Eel

The Fire Coral Eel originates from the reefs of South America. It is black in color with stunning golden spots covering the entire body. Like other Moray eels, it has a very thick body and will typically hide in the rocks with its gaping mouth out in plain view. It requires a larger aquarium with suitable shelter to conceal itself until it becomes acclimated. In time, it will have its head out in the open or will lie out in full view. The aquarium must be equipped with a tight-fitting lid to discourage escape.
