Have 5-0 liase with HPD, Coast Guard, and the rest to seal off the rock until the eel is booked.

Coddled in their urban cocoons, slathered in normalcy bias, disconnected from nature and even their sources of food and energy, these citiots assume that there is nothing in nature that can hurt them. In centuries past, nature was NOT a cuddly show on the Animal Planet channel. Nature contains eels with razor-sharp teeth, or packs of wolves that jumped unsuspecting victims. Nature could KILL you at any moment. It was to be guarded against at all times.

Maybe moderns will have to re-learn those lessons all over again after the collapse comes.

Moray eels have a bite like the sci-fi alien which is called the pharyngeal jaw. These jaws are a "second set" of jaws contained within an animal's throat, or pharynx, distinct from the primary or oral jaws. They are believed to have originated as modified gill arches, in much the same way as oral jaws.

Most fish species with pharyngeal teeth do not have extendable pharyngeal jaws. A particularly notable exception is the highly mobile pharyngeal jaw of the moray eels. These are possibly a response to their inability to swallow as other fishes do by creating a negative pressure in the mouth, perhaps induced by their restricted environmental niche (burrows). Instead, when the moray bites prey, it first bites normally with its oral jaws, capturing the prey. Immediately thereafter, the pharyngeal jaws are brought forward and bite down on the prey to grip it; they then retract, pulling the prey down the moray eel's gullet, allowing it to be swallowed.
