The Green Moray Eel inhabits the deep, shadowy waters of the western Atlantic Ocean. Green Moray Eels can grow up to 7.2 feet long and weigh approximately 64 lbs.
Despite its name, this species is not green, but its natural color is soft brown with a layer of yellow mucus. When hit by light, this mucus gives the appearance of vibrant green.
These types of eels periodically open and close their mouths because their gills require a continuous flow of water for breathing. They eat mainly fish, squids, and crabs. Lastly, they hide in dark crevices of coral reefs or rocky underwater terrains during the day and come out at night to hunt.

Compact, deep green Alpine Currant "Green Mound" (Ribes alpinum 'Green Mound') is Tegland's go-to foundation plant. "This shrub does really well in the shade," she says. "It'll also stay nice and compact with a little pruning. I've almost never seen a deer eat it."
Those seeking a super quick yard transformation may want to get their hands on green giant arborvitae (Thuja plicata). "This is one of the fastest-growing trees," says Teri Valenzuela, natural science manager at Sunday. "With its tall, conical shape, it’s perfect for quickly creating a thick, green wall to keep your yard private."
Thuja Green Giant (standishii x plicata 'Green Giant') is a large, fast-growing conifer that sports dense, dark green foliage. It takes on a pyramid shape via its flat splays and stays green throughout the year. "Thuja 'Green Giant' can quickly provide a lush, dense privacy screen that looks great all year round," says Walz. "It requires little or no pruning but can easily be sheared if necessary."
Red oak (Quercus rubru) is an iconic tree with an attractive, broad, rounded canopy of dark green leaves. "The leaves are known for their fall colors, which put on a show of shades of red, burgundy, and copper," says Canney. "Fun fact: The oldest of the red oaks may live to 300 to 500 years of age."
Cloaked in dense, dark, evergreen foliage that goes all the way down to the ground, thuga green giant (standishii x plicata 'Green Giant') has a conical habit that needs only occasional shearing or pruning, says Kelly Funk, president of Jackson & Perkins.
