Spotted Moray Eel feeding on a lobster

I came across this incredible scene while diving The Breakers, a dive site off the coast of West Palm Beach, Florida. I was with a student and conducting the Digital Underwater Specialty Instructor course. We cruised the reef looking for subjects to film and found 5 lobsters of different sizes sharing the same hole. After taking a few pictures I continued on my way. When looked back a few seconds later, I realized something exciting was going on in the lobster hole I had just left. My student was there, so I swam back, against the current, in time to film this Spotted Moray attacking and consuming one of the lobsters.
