I am a Spotted Freshwater Moray Eel
I'm carnivorous and like to dine on live fish
I don't see well
But I've a great sense of smell
I prefer water that's shallow not an abyss.
(Note that there is also a Spiny Lobster on the left in this photo. The critter on the right hits your eye like a big pizza pie - that a Moray.)
