The fangtooth moray (Enchelycore anatina), sometimes tiger moray or bird-eye conger, is a moray eel of the family Muraenidae found in warmer parts of the eastern Atlantic Ocean, including the Mediterranean Sea, Canary Islands, Madeira and various other islands. The Fangtooth Moray is distinctive for its bright yellow colouring and elongated jaw, which is filled with a large number of long "glasslike" teeth. It can reach up to 120 cm in length. Order: Anguilliformes, Family: Muraenidae.
