That's amore... or is it? This unsuspecting pink cardnalfish (Apogon pacifici) may be on the menu for this Panamic green moray (Gymnothorax castaneus) caught on film at Los Islotes. The name morax means "prone to bite", and if caught or harassed can inflict a serious bite with its fang-like teeth. With its menacing appearance and the continuous opening and closing of its jaws filled with needle sharp teeth, the green moray can be quite an intimidating spectacle. In most cases the moray's appearance is more threatening than its temperament however, and the movements of the jaws force water over the moray's gills for respiration. Being nocturnal, the green moray forages on the reef at night for small fish, octopuses, and crustaceans. Unlike fish the moray has no scales, lateral line or pectoral fins. Burton and Burton (1975) have recorded the ability of this species to throw its body into a knot and move this knot forward or backward from the head when captured, or to escape attackers.
