November 2020 / Week 5

A Chain Moray Eel and Spotted Moray Eel are together peeking out from under the cement block at Tres Trapi. I spotted these two together at another area under the block, but the Spotted Moray made it clear the Chain Moray was not welcome. The Chain Moray found another hole to inhabit and as I was preparing the shot I saw the Spotted Moray peeking out from under the block. Looks like he wanted to be included in the shot.

Equipment and settings: Nikon D850 / 105mm / INON 330Z / f 20 / 1/200th / ISO 125.
Location: Tres Trapi, Aruba
