Gymnothorax steindachneri is a moray eel found in coral reefs in the eastern central Pacific ocean, around Hawaii.[1] It was first named by Jordan and Evermann in 1903,[1] and is commonly known as the Steindachner's moray eel, or the Brown speckled eel.[2] It is rarely seen in the wild due to its aggressive nature. It will lie in wait for a passing animal, ad then ambush it.
