Whitemouth Moray

Also called: Guineafowl Moray, Turkey Moray, Spotted Eel

Scientific name: Gymnothorax meleagris

I have no idea why this eel is called anything else but "whitemouth". After all, it has a white mouth, period. It is quite striking when you come across one, as we were lucky to do in the Maldives.

Please note: Identification of fish, corals, etc. is a tricky business. It's entirely possible that I've incorrectly identified a photo I've taken. If you spot an error, please contact me so I can correct it and improve this resource.
