The video was shot by Nick Hope with a Sony VX2000 DV camera in a Gates housing. It was edited in Sony Vegas Pro then deinterlaced with QTGMC and upscaled to 720p HD in AviSynth.

Where do Moray Eels live on coral reefs ??

[bubblevision]

In holes in the reef between the coral/rocks, with their head sticking out.

[kekura kyekna]

Well, technically the largest moray by length is the slender moray (no, not the "No eyes, alway watches" kind of slender), it can grow up to 13 ft long.

[bubblevision]

That is interesting. Thanks. Strophidon sathete. Seems to prefer brackish areas such as estuaries.

I would love a ribbon eel video! :)

[bubblevision]

Good idea, but it's very difficult to capture them doing anything except sitting in their hole looking out. I've only ever seen 1 in the Andaman Sea, which was at Elephant Head in the Similans, and it was after I made this video. There are a few in my Indonesia videos.
