Couple of things here. First, the conger eel does not have fangs. What it does have is a hard, rough plate on the top and bottom jaws. Although these probably would not cut you, I have heard them snap their jaws while night diving. If you were unfortunate enough to get your finger in it's mouth, you may go home with a broken finger or two. Second is a little trick someone taught me about morays. Intead of hitting it on the head repeatedly, try smashing the tip of it's tail. It really slows those buggers down, kinda like getting hit in the balls. In either case, are you sure you want to hunt the moray? I have seen some heads the size of a gallon jug coming out of holes. I have also seen free swimming eels close to six feet long. Just one of those creatures that get a not so gentle prod from me but don't exactly get shot. Be safe.
