What Divers Should Know About
Mosaic Morays

The mosaic moray, Enchelycore ramosa, is a species distinctive for its significant size within its genus. These eels can reach lengths between 40 and 180 centimetres, establishing them as the largest known member of the Enchelycore genus. Divers exploring the waters of south-eastern Australia and around the offshore islands off Northland on New Zealand's North Island may encounter them.

Typically, these substantial morays inhabit reef areas of broken rock. While they are recorded at depths down to 100 metres, encounters often occur in the shallower parts of these complex rocky environments. Look for their robust forms nestled amongst the crevices of the reef structure.
