Japanese Dragon Eel (Enchelycore Pardalis)

The Japanese Dragon Eel, also known as the Dragon Moray Eel, is a striking saltwater species characterized by its mosaic pattern of red, yellow, black, orange, and white markings. Featuring prominent horn-like appendages and sharp teeth, this Pacific Ocean predator adds a dramatic presence to large marine aquariums.

This species requires an established aquarium of over 568 liters with a securely sealed lid and ample rockwork cavities to accommodate its full body length. While safe with corals, it must be housed only with large tank mates, as smaller fish and mobile invertebrates will be preyed upon.
