FBname: Yellow-edged moray
Comments: Along drop-offs (Ref. 48635).  Benthic (Ref. 58302).  Occurs in coral or rocky areas of reef flats and protected shorelines to seaward reefs.  Feeds on cephalopods (Ref. 30573), fishes, and crustaceans (Ref. 89972).  Most often appears on the reef after a fish has been speared during daylight.  The regularity and promptness of such appearances make it clear that <i>G. flavimarginatus</i> is especially sensitive to stimuli emanating from an injured or stressed fish (Ref. 13550).  Eaten in some parts of the Indo-Pacific (Ref. 12484).  Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797. Solitary and curious, usually seen with head protruding (Ref 90102).
