Max length : 73.2 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 121652); common length : 40.0 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 2334); peso máx. publicado: 568.30 g (Ref. 121652)
Vértebras: 125 - 137. Vomerine teeth are biserial and diverging anteriorly with the posterior most 3 to 4 teeth forming a single row (Ref. 37816).
Body shape (shape guide): eel-like.
Fairly common inhabitant of reef flats where it is usually encountered in shallow tidal pools. Feeds on crustaceans, small fishes and octopi (Ref. 89972). Often in shipwrecks; usually in pairs or small aggregations, and shares habitat with other morays (Ref. 48635). Also common in sheltered reefs (Ref 90102).
