I would REALLY not suggest hand-feeding an eel that big. A guy did that off a dive tour boat and lost his thumb because the eel got ahold of the thumb instead of the food. They aren’t aggressive, but they can do a lot of damage by mistake. It’s not a good idea to teach them that food is available near you.Â
They do, however, enjoy petting. I wouldn’t hug one, just in case they object, and definitely don’t go and try to touch a random one, but moray eels aren’t aggressive animals. They defend their holes from intruders, and that’s about it.Â
