Enchelycore anatina (Lowe, 1838)
Enchelycore anatina, also called Fangtooth moray is common in the eastern Atlantic. North from Ireland to Madeira and the Azores, the Canary Islands and the Cape Verde Islands to Ascension and St. Helena in the South. Occasionally there are reports on sightings from the coast of Israel in the Mediterranean.
Unfortunately, little is known about this by their bright yellow pattern rather conspicuous morey eel. In English it is called "Fangtooth Moray“ because of their elongated jaw set with "glassy" translucent teeth. Enchelycore anatina are usually found at depths around 45-50 meter on rocky, mostly fissured surfaces.
Jumping guard
A jumping guard prevents (nocturnal) fish from jumping out.
Wrasses, blennies, hawkfishs and gobies jump out of an unprotected tank in fright if their night rest is disturbed, unfortunately these jumpers are found dried up in the morning on carpets, glass edges or later behind the tank.

A small night light also helps, as it provides the fish with a means of orientation in the dark!
