Morays have sometimes been described as
vicious or ill-tempered. In fact, morays are shy and secretive, and they
only attack humans in self-defense. They also accidentally bite human
fingers when being fed, because they cannot see or hear very well,
although they have an acute sense of smell. Morays hide from humans and
would rather flee than fight. Morays rest in crevices during the day and
are nocturnal predators, and although they may ensnare small fish and
crustaceans that pass near them during the day, they mostly come out at
night.
