The lipspot moray eel (Gymnothorax chilospilus), also known as the textile moray, white-lipped moray or white-lipped reef eel,[2] is a moray eel found in coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.[3] It was first named by Pieter Bleeker in 1864.[3]

It is named for a distinct white spot on the lower lip near the corner of the mouth.[4]
