Gymnomuraena Zebra 

The Gymnomuraena zebra, commonly known as the Zebra Moray Eel, is a striking marine fish with a distinctive black and white striped pattern. It's a popular choice for larger marine aquariums due to its unique appearance and fascinating behavior.

• Coloration: Black and white stripes.
• Size: Can reach a maximum length of 150 cm (59 inches).
• Habitat: Indo-Pacific region, typically found in coral reefs and rocky areas.

Aquarium Care:

• Tank Size: Requires a very large aquarium, ideally over 1000 gallons.
• Water Parameters: Maintain stable water conditions, including temperature (72-78°F or 22-26°C), salinity (1.023-1.025), and pH (8.1-8.4).
• Water Flow: Moderate to strong water flow is beneficial.
• Lighting: Moderate to high lighting is suitable.
• Placement: Provide ample hiding places, such as caves and rockwork.
• Feeding: Carnivorous, feeding on fish, crustaceans, and other invertebrates. Offer a varied diet of high-quality marine fish foods.

Additional Tips:

• Compatibility: Can be aggressive towards other fish, especially during feeding time. It's best kept in a species-specific tank or with very large, robust tankmates.
• Acclimation: Acclimate the fish slowly to your aquarium's water parameters to reduce stress.
• Monitor Water Quality: Regularly test water parameters to ensure optimal conditions.
• Patience: The Zebra Moray Eel can be shy at first, so be patient and provide a stable environment.

Due to their size, potential aggression, and specific care requirements, Zebra Moray Eels are not suitable for most home aquariums. They are best kept in large public aquariums or by experienced hobbyists with the necessary facilities.
