Giant moray eels are carnivorous and nocturnal creatures, primarily hunting within the reef. They have an interesting hunting strategy, often engaging in cooperative hunting with roving coral groupers. This synergy allows them to effectively ambush prey, with the moray eel scaring prey out of the reef for the grouper to catch, or vice versa. They mainly feed on fish and occasionally crustaceans. This behavior, along with their preference for residing in crevices, caves, or under ledges, makes them a compelling subject for underwater documentaries and educational content.
