Getting Closer to Morays

Here's one cleaning my video camera lens port.

Is that true even for the black and white spotted ones in the Caribbean?

For perspective, these are the two kinds I saw the most last year on Blackbeard's...

The second was a white mouth (?) moray I believe.

Is that black and white one I posted considered aggressive? I think I saw one at least every other dive last year.

Yep, the first image is the Spotted Moray (gymnothorax moringa) species that can be aggressive.

Your second image is of a Goldentail Moray (gymnothorax milaris) - they are pretty calm.
