Spotted Moray Eel (Gymnothorax moringa)
Spotted Moray Eel
Nago Seawall
Okinawa , Japan
April 8, 2018
60 feet of water
I'm fairly certain on this species. I think it looks more "speckled" than "spotted," but that's not a species. A rarer find for me. In Nago, I usually see more "greyface" or "white eyed" moray eels. Those are synonyms for Gymnothorax thyrsoideus. www.fishbase.org/Summary/SpeciesSummary.php?ID=8252&A...
Taken with a Nikon D850 using a 105mm lens and a 1.7 teleconverter. Not cropped. This was a lovely eel who was very photogenic. It has a bit of sediment on it's head which may have already been there, or may have been from my own movements. A really satisfying shot in which I have both bokeh and depth of focus. Truly excellent technology combined with a bit of luck.
