Moray eels are nocturnal creatures so unless you are on a night dive, the times you will see them are sleeping in the coral reef. The biggest misconception with these animals is that they are electric. The coloring of a green moray eel is actually mucus that the eel secretes to coat its body. The real danger with these animals are their teeth. Divers should not stick their hands into places unknown because if a moray eel is sleeping there, it is likely to bite you.
