The green wolf eel as in congrogadus subduscens? Are you sure TOS, because I think they only get about 18 inches...

Are you thinking the green moray?

Actually TOS was correct, i removed a 6+ foot green wolf eel (not a moray) from a 300 gallon tank, that thing was HATEFUL and would try to bite your hands and arms. while they probably usually stay under 2 feet, they can get much larger if given the time, space and food to do so.

Was probably a different species, because congrogadus subduscens does not get 6 feet long.
