A moray eel lives in a cosy crack in the rocks and pokes its head out to see what is going on. An island in the Caribbean, Anguilla, is named after the eel. This one opens and closes its mouth to breathe, which makes it look like it is singing the anthem.

On Futbol Island the moray eel can be caught at:

• North Beach Rocks: Tide-pool rocks at the quiet end of North Beach. Octopuses hide in the cracks.

Size on the island: 60–150 cm.
