I went to my nephews party at the Aquarium. The party room had a great big window looking into the aquarium. After the party we went through the aquarium.
Here are some pics to share.

great pics fire eater!
get this last time i was in denver a particular aquarium shop was selling a green moray just like the one in the pic. he was about as big around as a baseball, and easily 5 ft long. he was being kept in a 90 gallon tank. it was sooo sad. i complained to the owner and he said that the eel had been in a wealthy persons giant tank in their home and they didnt want him anymore, so now he was stuck in some little cramped space and looked very bad. it was very sad.
anyway, sorry about the blabber
good luck

I believe they are cold water NW Pacific stars, so no good for us.
Oh, and VERY predatory in all likelihood.
