Giant Moray (Gymnothorax javanicus) with cleaner wrasse

The largest moray by body mass; they can reach a length of 10 feet. Hunts by night and primarily eats fish, and sometimes crustaceans. Usually not aggressive towards people if unmolested. Sometimes hunts cooperatively with some groupers; the groupers catch the fish fleeing up from the moray, and the moray catches fish seeking shelter from the groupers.
