The rocky reef edges at Kavos Bay shelter a high density of morays, with several dens occupied by morays of different sizes within a small area. Cleaner wrasse service stations are active throughout the day, with morays opening their jaws wide to permit cleaning of the gill chambers. At night, morays leave their dens to hunt actively, and encounters with free-swimming individuals over the sandy flat are common on night dives.
