Similan Islands Diving - Moray Eel and cleaner wrasse

Again - Steff comes to our rescue with a great video of a Moray eel getting cleaned by Cleaner Wrasse.

While we might feel intimidated and/or fearful of Moray Eels, they are actually quite relaxed creatures. As long as you are not trying to feed them (AKA "Interfere in habitat). They are predators - note the teeth.

But if you are neither irritating or interfering with their lives, they are completely chilled out and non-aggressive.

Giant Moray eels (the species seen in this video from Digital Aquatic) are just one of many species found on Similan Islands.
