The Brown Moray Eel (Gymnothorax unicolor) known locally in Fuerteventura as Murión is common in Fuerteventura waters.
Dark brown in colour they have slimy skin without scales and dorsal fin begins behind the head and continues to the caudal fin.
Brown Moray can reach a length of 100 centimetres and equipped with sharp teeth, they are opportunistic, ferocious predators.
They inhabit depths from a couple of metres down to 300 metres feeding primarily on smaller fish, octopus, squid, and crustaceans.
Care should be taken when handling moray eels whose bite can be dangerous due to their very sharp teeth.
