M. more abundant southern area spring 2003. population dominated small immature individuals. species had a varied diet, on crustaceans, bivalve siphons, polychaetes. ingestion siphons may be...

Activity, habitat utilization, feeding behaviour, and diet of the sand moray Gymnothorax ocellatus (Anguilliformes, Muraenidae) in South western Atlantic. The is a nocturnal predator from Atlantic that actively forages on bottom, preying mostly crustaceans (mainly shrimps crabs) ray-finned fishes, which are located primarily by sense smell. individuals stay stationary during day, almost always being hidden individual tunnels dug animals other than morays muddy bottom.

Labrisomus nuchipinnis is a diurnal bottom-dwelling sit-and-wait carnivorous fish that inhabits holes and rifts of rocky areas in tropical shallow waters.
