Moray eel attacks underwater cameraman

[@jacobstrine6332]

When you’re down in the sea and an eel bites your knee that’s a moray. When his jaws open wide but there’s more jaws inside, that’s a moray!

[@tucker6577]

If it sits on a reef and has 2 sets of teeth, that's a moray

The two predators that were close to eachother 3:22 are actually communitcating, making a strategy for hunting prey. The big one goes above, scaring the small fishes down in the rocks to the Moray Eel, and the Eel scares them up to the grouper.

[@SagaContinu]

I watched it multiple times, if anything it looks like the small fish are attacking the eel. I could be completely wrong, but looks like the bass is intimidating the eel => swimming at it from above and forcing it to back up into the rocks. Also look at the submissive posture of the eel. Interestingly the bass puts itself directly between the human and eel (possibly protective behaviour towards the human, no idea why)

[@taffypulller]

it seemed like the potato was protecting the divers from the eel

[@solc3804]

and also to let the eel know those are friendly they only want to swim with us u can thrust this situation iit's fascinating how intelligent they are

[@burants89]

taffypulller yeah I commented the same but then saw this comment....yeah if definitely looked like that to me knowing the divers were no threat took it upon itself to protect the diver

[@skeetermcswagger0U812]

I've heard and read about potato bass lingering around when divers encounter dangers and in a way seem to be good omens to divers.

The grouper wasn’t protecting anyone, he was talking to the eel, telling him that the divers are ok, “see? He says to the eel, they aren’t hurting me, they won’t hurt you, see how close I am to them, and I’m out in the open, not even hiding, you can relax.....” - I have seen dogs speak to each other this way, I recognize the behavior. They give each other an attitude adjustment, they live together, that grouper knows that eel and recognized it was scared of the diver. Smart fish, knew the eel was scared AND knew the diver didn’t recognize that about the eel.

I’m curious why would you put a fish picture on the cover of a morey eel video? Out of the gate, as far as I’m concerned, you are being deceptive so I did not watch your fish/eel video.

[@earthtouchtv]

Hi, the moray eel isn't the only species in the video. We didn't have any quality stills or imagery of the moray so opted for the potato bass for the thumbnail. Potato bass footage kicks in at about 2:18.

[@TheZholvar]

Was the big fish trying to protect to divers from the moray?!?! Incredible behaviour, as he was yawning before, maybe he was looking for some action :)

[@Light_Wz]

No, if you watched the video you would see that the eel kinda just chased the diver away. The big fish was a docile potato bass

[@thepianoapprentice485]

It actually looked like the bass didn't want the diver get too close to the eel. at 3:00, the bass is clearly blocking the diver's path even if he goes backwards.
