Green Wolf Disquised as a Banana ?

[zenkick]

I was at the LFS picking up an ugly soldierfish, and saw that they had what was listed as a Green Wolf Eel.
However, it looks exactly like a Banana Eel.
Do the Green Wolf Eels appear yellow at any stage of their life?
Or did my LFS mismake an eel and I should run over and buy it? It's about 10" and listed for $50.

there is no way that a green wolf eel could ever look like a bannana eel. i would grab it for 50 dollars. if you can get a pic of it i could tell you for sure

or were you expecting the green wolf eel which is not an accual eel but of the blenny family.http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/20...hcs3/index.php

Alas, it is the Green Wolf Eel afterall.
I went back over and it didn't look as yellow as I remembered. ;-)

I have a green wolf eel, and fifty dollars sounds like a lot of money for it, I spent 18 dollars on mine and it is one of the best eels i have ever had, you might want to check around at other fish stores to see if you can get him cheaper

I agree 50 bucks is very steep for a blenny(green wolf eel) I paid 15 for the one i purchased.this fish is very common.

 

[reeftank27]

i agree, should be around 30 at most.
