New record of the enigmatic moray Gymnothorax enigmaticus McCosker and Randall, 1982 (Anguilliformes: Muraenidae) from Taiwan
摘要
Gymnothorax enigmaticus McCosker and Randall, 1982 is a newly recorded moray eel from Taiwanese water. A single specimen was collected by dip net in ＜ 0.5 m intertidal zone from the eastern coast of Taiwan. Another unpreserved specimen was photographed in 10.7 m deep coral reef from Green Island of Taiwan. In this paper, the brief description and biological characters of this rare moray are reported. The record filled the distribution gap of this moray among islands between southern Japan and Philippines. Comparisons between G. enigmaticus and other banded morays sympatric in Taiwan are also provided.
