Grouper and Moray eel "Teamwork"

[Fat Homer]

Im still wondering how this relationship started and is it passed down or learnt by seeing others do it...

Awesome, never heard of anything like that before. Is is possible that the Eel is just taking advantage of a grouper scaring fish into crevices? and that the signaling is something else that the scientists are associating with signaling? I'm not saying either way, as I wouldn't be extremely surprised if they were cooperating (as seen in cleaner fish). Just like to throw both sides out there since sometimes scientists tend to put things together that may not be fact based on what they want to see. Either way awesome video!

Very cool video!
Intresting to see the 2 completely different species working together as a team.
Thanks for sharing.
