White Eyed Moray Eel

A white eyed moray eel in Kenya

The White Eyed Moray Eel is also sometimes referred to as the Greyface Moray Eel. They can usually be found on the sea bed aka the benthic zone, where they live in crevices between hard and soft corals during the day and come out at night to feed. Their diet consists mostly of small fish and invertebrates such as cuttlefish and octopus.

As i was drift diving along the reef, this little white eyed moray had its head protruding from its crevice with its head slowly rocking back and forth to the current. I found the colours and the angle interesting so i went ahead and clicked the photo.

The Unique Looking Guitar Fish

Guitar Fish resting on the sea bed One of the most interesting characteristics about the guitar fish is its unique body shape. It seemingly looks like a cross between a shark and a ray - with its flattened ray like head yet it has a long shark like body with dorsal fins - but this fish is actually a classification of its own and has about 50 subspecies. The guitar fish prefers to remain tranquil on the sea bed, partly covering itself with sand to camouflage itself for any unsuspecting prey such as crabs or small fish that may come past it. Reaching sizes of approximately two meters in length, they are quite docile so can easily be approached by underwater photographers.
