What are moray eels and where are they found?

Moray
eels
belong to a family of fish which differs from the common eels
by their lack of side fins, their well-developed teeth, and
their lack of scales. Common eels have embedded scales, but
these are not readily noticeable. Morays occur in tropical
and subtropical seas of the world. In the United States. they
are usually found in quantity only in Florida waters, although
they have been seen as far north as North Carolina and even
New Jersey.
