FBname: Panamic green moray
Comments: Lives in rocky, boulder strewn areas and walls.  Lurks in holes, crevices and dark recesses during day; forage in the open at night.  Constantly opens and closes its mouth--an action required for respiration, not a threat (Ref. 5227).  May occasionally wander into open sandy areas about 10-20 m from cover.  Feeds mainly on crustaceans and fishes and are highly responsive to stimuli emanating from wounded or distressed prey at distances exceeding 20 m (Ref. 28023).
