Moray eels in the wild (video)

[Nick Hope]

I just posted a video of moray eels in the wild in Thailand and Burma on YouTube.

It features 11 different species of moray eel, along with some description of their feeding habits.

I thought you aquarists might be interested in it.

Nick is a professional underwater videographer; anything he produces is worth a look or two.

...and a VERY amateur marine biologist, so if you guys ever notice any inaccuracies in my narration or captions, I would be very happy to hear about them.

Thanks snorvich!

Hello Nick, your videos are simply amazing ! Im gonna order the DVD tonight.

not sure if you document and take videos of corals much but that would also be amazing, along with smaller reef fish I know I would get the DVD of that in a heart beat.

Really? I'm curious...

There are a few corals in the first part but not in depth. There are lots of smaller reef fish throughout the film. The episode with angelfish, butterflyfish etc. is coming next Tuesday actually. Here's the YouTube playlist for the series which I add each new weekly episode to.

You've got to be careful. I know a guy who lost his thumb when he was feeding sausages to a giant moray.

Exactly why I havent. And I would go with one of the smaller species of eels.
