Five Facts Friday: Moray Eels 1. Green moray eels aren’t actually green; they’re brown but appear green because of a protective mucous around their skin. 2. Moray eels have two sets of jaws and no esophagus. The first set of jaws grasps the prey. The second set of jaws, called a pharyngeal jaw, lies behind the first jaw. It moves forward and grabs the food from the first jaw, then retracts, bringing the food back to the stomach. 3. They have poor eyesight and rely mainly on their sense of smell
