Amazing video Big-B. I did not know they could do that kind of grafting. Very cool.

Morays are very tough, mean creatures. Once while free diving for abalone, (remember them), I had my hand in a hole trying to retrieve an ab I had just popped off with my iron. The moray, grabbed the iron which was strapped to my wrist and held on tight. The leash was strong and was trapped, quickly running out of air. I pulled as hard as I could, eventually broke the leash and managed to escape.

After sucking air at the surface for a few minutes I went back down to see what was going on. The moray was chomping down on my abalone. With the thing occupied, I was able to retrieve the ab-iron and headed to shore feeling lucky to be alive.

That was one of the scariest experiences of my life.
