The Honeycomb Moray Eel, also known as the Tessalata Eel, has a light colored body and especially attractive, dark honeycomb markings.
It requires a 180 gallon or larger aquarium with numerous rock crevices for hiding and a secure, tight-fitting lid to discourage its escape.
The Honeycomb Moray Eel's diet should include sizeable portions of live feeder fish, octopus, and squid.
Like other eels, they are generally compatible with: Large Angelfish, Boxfish, Groupers, Grunts & Sweetlips, Lionfish & Scorpionfish, Puffers and Tangs & Surgeons.
They are not compatible with: Anglers & Frogfish, Basslets, Blennies, Cardinalfish, Clownfish, Damselfish, Filefish, Goatfish, Gobies, Hawkfish, Pseudochromis, Seahorses & Pipefish and Sharks & Rays.
