The city of morays is formed by several deep horizontal cravices in a rock wall. These cravices are inhabited by a great number of morays and anglerfish as well as porcenalid crabs. It is not rare to find up to eight morays per dive. The wall itself is covered by blanquets of white anemones. 
Maximum depth: 17 meters.
