These animals are not endangered and are listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. However, they are also a popular species among aquarium hobbyists for their hardiness, flexible diets, disease resistance, and charisma.

Moray eels are dangerous, with very sharp teeth that can pierce human skin. The name “Moray” comes from derives from Portuguese moréia, which itself derives from Latin mūrēna. They feed primarily on smaller fish, crabs, and octopuses. Moray eels grow to a length of about 1.5 metres, and live in coral reefs and rocky areas, at a depth of about 200m. They can be distinguished from each other by the location of their fins. There is a subfamily of Muraenidae Uropterygiinae. There are approximately 200 species in 15 genera which are almost exclusively marine, but several species are regularly seen in brackish water, and a few are found in fresh water. Goby - (deceased) approx 2.Moray eels, comprising the family Muraenidae, are a family of eels whose members are found worldwide. He is the only “predator class” inhabitant in the tank. My secondary concern is that now he has eaten this goby fish, which i thought was too large for him to begin with, will he now regress from the feeding schedule we had and try his luck with the other inhabitants. Also now that he has eaten this large of a portion, i am unsure of when to think about feeding him again. I’m keeping an eye on him but am unsure of what to look for as far as signs of struggle. His breathing is on the heavy side, with his gills flaring every so often. He has found a hiding spot in the tank and is just “relaxing” so to speak. My primary concern is for the health of the G.W.E, will he be able to properly digest this large of a meal successfully.

He consumed the entire fish and it looks like the scene out the movie “Anaconda” when the snake ate the dude and you could see the shape of it thru the side of the snake. My fear was the goby was too large so i tried to take it from him. By the time i got to him the goby was dead but he had not consumed it yet. My wife came to get me in a panic telling me “Wolfgang” (affectionately named) was killing the new goby. Unfortunately, i slept in this morning and missed his 7am scheduled feeding. Is very fast and is slightly smaller than the goby was. Both fish i believed were too big for him to go after. Yesterday i bought a jeweled blenny and a sand sifting goby to help control algae and diatom breakout in my substrate(crushed coral). After feeding, there have been no issues with aggression towards other tank inhabitants. He’s been slightly aggressive toward some of the other inhabitants but its usually right before or right on time with his schedule that this occurs. I have been feeding him freeze-dried shrimp by hand, until satisfied regularly on a schedule and haven’t had any issues. Everything else in the tank is bigger than his head so I wasn’t to worried about them. Not a big deal, in a way i did expect it, so I wasn’t surprised when it happened. The first day i had him in there he ate a cleaner shrimp that was in the tank.
