The **Wolf Eel** is a fascinating and sizable dottyback species. Although they resemble eels, they are indeed dottybacks. These fish have elongated, slender bodies with a tan-green hue, adorned with white and brown patterns.

**Wolf Eels** can grow up to 18 inches and require a minimum tank size of 55 gallons. It's crucial to have a securely fitted lid to prevent escape. Known for their aggressive nature, they may target smaller fish and invertebrates, so caution is advised when adding them to reef tanks.

These fish thrive in aquariums with ample live rock and a sandy substrate. They often rest on the tank floor and quickly retreat into rock crevices when threatened.

As carnivores, **Wolf Eels** need a diet rich in meaty foods. Ideal options include small pieces of fresh seafood such as squid, clams, shrimp, scallops, and fish.
