[104 - 2022-12-01 - Shark and Yolanda Reef - Sharm Al Sheikh - Egypt](104%20-%202022-12-01%20-%20Shark%20and%20Yolanda%20Reef%20-%20Sharm%20Al%20Sheikh%20-%20Egypt.md) - First confused with the classic mediteranean morray, but it seems to not have any of it in the Red Sea, and the orange eyes oriented me more on the G. flavimarginatus.
## Notes
Even if the first pictured individual had a lot of yellow markings, the G. flavimarginatus can be confused with the [Gymnothorax javanicus - Giant moray](Gymnothorax%20javanicus%20-%20Giant%20moray.md). The most distinct things are obviously the yellow markings, as well as the orange eyes.
