These guys are so cool and creepy looking!
Yes, they freak out me also because I know they have pretty bad eyesight. And if they accidently take a finger, I’ll never get it back. LOL!
Great shot. 🙂
Thanks!!! 🙂
You are very welcome. 🙂

OMG, I love this photo! The colours are spectacular and I happen to be a huge moray fan. I find them endlessly fascinating to watch.
There coral and marine life in Oman is amazing. I can’t wait until they open up again.
Another place to add to my list!
