dragon morays

[craig]

Define "dragon" moray. The hawiian dragon moray is pretty wimpy. It's behavior is much like a snowflake. THey are pretty pricey, $1000.00 is not uncommon. I have only had one for an extended period of time, it was pretty cool!!!!

I have seen dragon moray's available from other continents for considerably less money that I am certain is a differant eel. I am not sure what they are though...

just got back from a store in Chicago, and they had a hawiian dragon moray and a mexican dragon moray. very cool eels.

What is the difference between the variations of the Dragon Morays? Anyone have some pictures to share?

Thanks in advance

There is not a difference between the Hawaiian and Japanese Dragon. They are the same species...only slightly different coloration. The Hawaiian is more Orange, while the Japanese is more of a Maroon color.

The "Mexican/Brazlian" Dragon is not a true Dragon moray.

Here's a picture of my female Hawaiian Dragon, that I've had for over 6 years.

That's normal coloration for a Hawaiian. Japanese have darker coloration (darker grey, maroon, etc.).

They'll grow to 30" - 36" long, depending on male and female...no bigger.

And, right now, she's in a 90gal tank with a 10" - 12" Porc Puffer. Here in a few weeks, both will be moved back to my 200gal.
