Uncommon Sighting: White-mouth moray

Today's dive at one of Gorontalo's multiple pinnacle dive sites turned up a number of surprises. But the most impressive was a shy White-mouth moray (Gymnothorax meleagris). Although this species can grow over a meter in length, the one today was clearly a juvenile. Found in tropical waters, this beautiful moray is uncommon in most of the Indo-Pacific area and mainly seen in northern Sulawesi, where Gorontalo is located, up to the Philippines. Nice photo!

Asian Diver Magazine Feature Destination
This month's edition of Asian Diver Magazine features Gorontalo and the amazing diving here. Singapore-based William Tan took the photos for the spread as well as wrote the witty article. His Teddy bear crab, shot here in Gorontalo, is on the magazine's cover.
