The laced moray (Gymnothorax favagineus) also known as the leopard moray, tesselate moray or honeycomb moray, is a species of marine fish in the family Muraenidae.Gymnothorax favagineus is a large moray which can reach a maximum length of 300 cm, but specimens usually encountered are much smaller.[1] Its serpentine in shape body has a white to yellowish background color dotted with numerous black spots which latter vary in size and shape depending on the individual and on the environment in which the animals live.[2] Therefore, morays living on a reef with clear water will have less black spots than those of a turbid environment.[3] It is from this characteristic color pattern that ensue its vernacular names.
