- Info Mediterranean moray (Muraena helena), Regga, Gozo, Malta. Mediterranean moray or Roman eel (Muraena helena) is a fish of the moray eel family. It has a long eel-like body and is found in coastal waters of the eastern Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. It prefers rocky bottoms and lives in depths of from 5 to 80 meters (16.5 to 264 feet). It is a solitary and territorial species. This moray spends most of the day in cavities and clefts between rocks and is more active at night. It hunts fish, crayfish and cephalopods, but also feeds on dead animals. A bite with its long and sharp-pointed teeth can be dangerous to humans also due to the mildly toxic slime of its skin. Note: we have no FPs of this species. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 13:13, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
