caption: A pair of white-eyed moray eels peer out of a crevice in a reef community off the coast of Puerto Galera, Philippines. While these morays are predators that readily feed on a variety of fishes, crustaceans and mollusks, they are not aggressive, and they are often misunderstood due to their method of respiration. Unlike most fishes, morays need to open and close their mouths repeatedly to pump oxygen-rich water over their gills. Their fierce-looking behavior gives them a reputation for being much more vicious than they are. The moment was captured in the water off Puerto Galera, Philippines. (Photo: <PERSON>/Caters News)
