Giant Moray Eel
A coral-cave predator lies coiled and unseen until a diver strays too close, then lunges out with a bite built to end things fast.
Giant moray eels dwell in warm, tropical waters and build lairs in narrow, twisting caves made of coral. Their size, speed, and powerful bite make them dangerous to divers and fishers alike.
