Great tank. Personally, I think that bad boy needs a large eel... and a clown trigger... and... if that were me my credit cards would be maxed pretty quick.
I would add a whole lot more rock... whether it's live or base rock, if you want to go aggressive, give the fish their own areas.

Most definitely... a couple of my favorites are a banana moray, jeweled moray or hawaiian dragon. They are great (depending on what you want to spend). However if it were my tank it would be an easy decision. Some would disagree but I think you have one of the few tanks that can house a green moray for life. They get very large, (up to 7 ft) but with eels the length is somewhat misleading because they don't need a ton of swimming room. JMO.

i went and looked up all the eels you mentioned and decided to go with either the banana eel or the green wolf eel.

Green Wolf's get huge. Go with a bannana. Hawaiian Dragons are cool, but very expensive.
Also awesome fish! Amazing Emperor Angel!

I was talking about the green moray, not green wolf. And they do get big but I think would be fine in your tank.

The sizes on swf.com is there actual size at the moment, not their max.
I believe the green moray gets 5' long. The green wolf would be a better choince, but I'd go Banana Moray, IMO.

Green Morays get to be giants..And Rather nasty when the get large...Green Wolfs are not even really eels..
I agree though, I would go with a Banana, Or a Dragon..

I wouldn't do green wolf eel, IMO. I'd do a zebra moray or dragon moray instead. Off subject but the September 2007 issue of Tropical Fish Hobbyist Magazine has got a couple good articles on moray eels.
