Wolf Eel
This is not an eel. While it is called a wolf eel, they are not true eels, just long skinny fish. The one pictured in this photo is considered young and small. Young wolf eels have a red brick like color (as showing in the photo) and as they age colors dull and they become shades of grays and browns. Full grown wolf eel can grow up to eight feet long and have 200 spinal vertebrae. These fish are found in the north pacific and are known to be gentle, slow-moving and often very friendly with divers.
