The Green Moray Eel (Gymnothorax funebris) is actually brown. Protective yellow mucus covering its body, combined with its brown body, gives it a green colour.

Morays have a reputation as vicious creatures, but will actually only attack humans to defend themselves.

The Green Moray Eel is carnivorous and feeds on other fish, molluscs, and crustaceans. It is a sedentary predator and will normally wait for food, rather than hunt (although at Stingray City, the Green Moral Eel may seek out divers with food).
