Overview

The Kidako moray is a species of marine fish in the family Muraenidae. It inhabits coral reefs or lagoons and can be found in tropical and subtropical seas near Taiwan and Japan. The species is diurnal, which means it is more active in the daytime than the nighttime. It is also piscivorous: it consumes fish, octopus, and squid. Other than the Kidako moray, there are about 200 species of moray eels in the Muraenidae family. The Kidako moray doesn't attack humans unless they are provoked. However, due to the menacing looks of the Kidako moray and moray eels in general, they are feared by divers and snorkelers.
