Here's the rather big Moray that inhabits Willie.

Here's another view.

Every time I see this picture I somehow think of a great solution for certain sexual predators.

Here's the biggest critter I have got a picture of.
Lobster
This is a 25+ lb lobster from Maine.

The problem I have found with demonstrating the size of large Green Moray eels through photographs is the chicken nature of dive buddies who quite unreasonably refuse to 'Hug a Moray' even when assured of that particular eel's friendliness by a resident divemaster.

Hi shawn, you can look at the bottom of this page under formatting and that will tell you how to post the photos, Remember they have to be under 50kb and in jpeg form is easiest,, also the brackets are the squiggly ones { . you can put whatever you would like people to see between the brackets {as you roll your mouse over the image sometimes there are captions this is where they come from} Good luck and if you still have a problem or don'thave a program to resize your photo send them to me and I will resize them and post them for you with any caption that you would like.. scubahb@optonline.net

Ok, then... here's the biggest one yet...

shreik-1

The story: Michelle and I were diving Andrea-II at sunset. On the way back Michelle motioned for me to follow her to this huge cup-shaped sponge. Her idea was that she would hover, supine, just above the cup so that I could take a picture that looked like she was inside this giant bowl-shaped, purplish bowl. But then she jumped, shook her head and back-paddled because she saw this...

shreik-3

"She's not eaten by the eels at this point..."

No kidding, this goblin was at least 3 meters long from nose to tail. And no, she wouldn't get close enough to be in the shot!
