Interesting shot......

I found this photo on my computer. I took it about two years ago at my local aquarium......this guy was an easy 6' long. Huge and scary.
Just thought I would share the scare.

Feeding a Marine Eel terrestrial based food such as a human hand might not be healthy long term. Perhaps as a snack would be OK.

What if you soak the hand in Zoe or Selcon?

I don't think in this case you'd need to add garlic for flavoring......

Hand feeding can be done. I work at a large aquarium and that is how we feed the large moray eels. Mostly they are green moray eels and seem to enjoy having a diver in the tank with them.
