These pictures were also taken on my Sipadan trip in May 2010. Moray Eels are so fierce looking, and presumably could give a nasty bite, however, they always seem very placid when I come across them. I have even stroked one!! Each of the eels pictured is thicker than my arm and around 5 feet long! The first shot shows a Cleaner Fish giving the Moray its daily spruce up.
Not pretty, but I'm sure his Mum loves him!!
