They are ambush predators, meaning they hide and wait for prey to come close before striking. They have powerful jaws with sharp teeth, and they can swallow prey whole or tear it apart with their jaws.
Here are some things moray eels prey on:
* Fish
* Crabs
* Lobsters
* Octopus
* Squid
Although they are predators, they can be prey for larger fish like sharks, barracudas, and groupers.
