## Caption

Photos by joelsartore | Spotted moray eels may resemble snakes, but they are actually fish without pelvic or pectoral fins. Their thick skin has a shiny, almost slippery appearance thanks to a layer of protective mucus that coats their bodies. These photos were taken at bluecornerjapan. To see more species featured in the Photo Ark, follow joelsartore. #PhotoArk
