The black spotted moray is a white, sometimes yellow, moray with black spots. With some animals the pattern of these spots resembles that of a leopard. Adult animals often have some smaller spots that form sort of a honeycomb pattern. The animals live a solitary life and live in crevices in the reef, both on the inner- as on the outer reefs.
Animals living in clearer water usually have less black spots than animals living in turbid waters. Near the moray cleaner fish and cleaner shrimps live.
The length of the animals can vary but they can grow up to 2,5 meter.
