The panamic green moray eel (Gymnothorax castaneus) is a large moray eel in the Pacific.[2] Common names also include chestnut moray eel.
The panamic green moray is found in the Pacific from the Gulf of California to Ecuador, including the Galapagos Islands. [3] It grows to about 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) in length,[3] and is brown to brownish green. [4] It is found near reefs and associated waters between 3 and 36 m (10 and 120 ft) deep.[3]
