CHARLOTTE — A r’EEL’y amazing creature has joined SEA LIFE Charlotte-Concord Aquarium, a Green Moray eel.

Even more exciting, the new addition will be named in honor of a local healthcare hero. In welcoming the Green Moray eel, SEA LIFE Charlotte-Concord is asking guests to help name the eel after a local healthcare hero on their Facebook channel (@SEALIFECharlotteConcord) from now through Sunday, July 5. 

The vibrant 4.5 ft eel will then be named after the local healthcare hero to honor them along with all hard-working healthcare professionals.

SEA LIFE Charlotte-Concord will also honor the tireless work of local medical professionals by providing complimentary tickets to healthcare heroes. For every guest who tags the attraction in a social media post during their visit, SEA LIFE Charlotte-Concord will donate one ticket to a local healthcare worker from a health care partner to be announced soon. Guests are invited to snap their social media shots in the many breathtaking photo opportunities in SEA LIFE.

Green Moray eels are the largest in the moray family and are actually green because of the green mucus that surrounds their skin. They commonly grow to be about 6 feet and can weigh over 60 pounds. This new green moray eel is currently behind the scenes, but will be in a guest-facing habitat soon.

SEA LIFE Charlotte-Concord Aquarium is excited to be welcoming fans back for a day of family fun with signature experiences like walking under the ocean tunnel, spotting for Neptune, and coming face to fin with sharks.
