| Goldentail moray eels and many predatory fish, such as this Graysby, can be seen hunting together in the open during the day. This symbiotic behavior is called nuclear hunting or cooperative hunting. As the predatory fish swim above the eel it scares any prey into hiding within the reaches of the eel. If the eel is unable to capture the prey, it usually scares it out of hiding allowing the predatory fish an opportunity for a meal. |
