* Coral reefs: The vibrant, colorful coral reefs are perfect habitats for moray eels, providing them with ample hiding spots and a steady food supply.
* Rocky shores: Moray eels are masters of camouflage and use the cracks and crevices in rocky shorelines to ambush their prey.
* Seagrass beds: The dense growth of seagrass offers them protection and access to small fish and crustaceans.
* Wreck sites: Shipwrecks offer excellent hiding spots, attracting moray eels to the debris and the abundance of life that has settled on them.
Note: Some moray eel species can tolerate colder waters and can be found in temperate zones as well.
