They usually do not exceed a length of about 5 feet (1.5 meters), but one species, Thyrsoidea macrurus of the Pacific, grows to about 11.5 feet (3.5 meters) long. Morays are eaten sometimes, but their flesh is often toxic and may cause sickness or death.

Marine fish, Eels, Family Muraenidae - English
URL: http://www.exotictropicals.com/encyclo/marine/eels/eels.htm

This is a nocturnal family of fish that lives in holes and caves in the reef and snatching any hapless fish that may wander by. They are undemanding in the aquarium as long as they have plenty of room, a place to hide, and plenty of food. Morays locate food mainly with their sense of smell. Watch your fingers when feeding a Moray since their eyesight is not very good and it is easy to mistake your fingers for a morsel of food.

Мурены достигают в длину 3 м. У некоторых видов, в том число у средиземноморской мурены (M. helena), красивая раскраска из бурых н мраморных пятен и полос на зелено-желтом фоне. Мурены подстерегают добычу - рыб, крабов и каракатиц - в подводных гротах и расщелинах камней и могут жестоким укусом покарать нарушившего их покой ныряльщика.
