Jeweled Moray Eel

[RazorBlade]

Liveaquaria sells Jeweled moray eels (Muraena Lentiginosa) and it says that they are black with white markings and that juviniles are brown with gold spots, and I often see large when brown with yellow/gold markings. I thought it would be cool to have one black with white markings. Do you have an opinion on the color?

RazorBlade,

The Jeweled Moray Eel you have seen with the brown body and gold spots may not have reached the full adult size. These specimens are black with beautiful white markings at adult size and are a great addition to an aggressive, fish only home aquarium.
