Xenoconger is a genus of eels in the family Chlopsidae (false morays). It contains the single species Xenoconger fryeri, or Fryer's false moray.[1][2] This species was described by Charles Tate Regan in 1912.[3] It is a tropical, marine eel which is known solely from Assumption Island in the Indian Ocean and Tokunoshima in the Amami Islands.[4] It is known to dwell at a depth range of 1 to 5 metres (3.3 to 16.4 ft), and inhabit benthic rock crevices. Males are known to reach a total length of 20.5 centimetres (8.1 in).[2] The collector was John Claud Fortescue Fryer.
