a look inside open mouth giant moray eel (cleaner station)

Recent trip to The Brothers from Hurghada. This moray eel opens mouth wide for cleaning. Using my torch you can look inside his throat.

you can see the cleanere wrasse (little blue fish) darting around the mouth and guils. Just before starting to film there were three of the cleaner wrasses busy. but who knows, they might be taking advantage of the open mouth breathing.

I released this material to National Geographic!!! They want to use it on a feature of Moray eels and especially the second jaw the so-called "pharyngeal jaw".

its almost like he's daring you to put a finger in there lol

@unbreakablewill yes they look kinda mean and this one was almost big enough to put my head into :-)

(or so it seemed underwater since everything gets enlarged)

Thanks, I did not know that. Now I know what I recorded.

those things have another mouth that comes out n takes bits, like from alien, crazy shit

appears to me the eel is simply breathing. I thought when they invite cleaner animals to work on their mouth that they hold their mouth open and relatively motionless.
