Green fluorescent moray

[Cowturtle]

This saltwater moray came into my store this week as an unidentified gymnothorax sp. Under blacklight and blue reef leds he fluoresces a super cool gold/yellow color. I've heard of fish like this in the wild but never in aquariums besides the man made glofish.

That's insane ?

Crazy good!

Really wish my marine tank was more than 13.5 gallons right now…
I’d snatch that up in a heartbeat!
Reading it seems like it’s a natural fish, but very rare. Must have been trying to catch a regular green moray and picked up this beauty instead.

It's actually a dull brown with just the white lights on. Normally the species that shows up is the commonly sold as freshwater gymnothroax tile.

Looks like leopard-patterned moray

Pretty cool looking under that black light but I imagine long term exposure to said black light can't be good for the fish

That is certainly true. It will also glow under blue lights just like coral if I’m correct, which aren’t harmful.

Gambled on six more of these moray's check these two out.
