Wolf eel stomachs have been found to contain a variety of creatures from sea urchins to snails to the occasional fish.They feed primarily on sea urchins and sand dollars, and in fact their favorite food is sea urchin. The wolf eel uses it's powerful jaws and teeth to crush the sea urchins and devour them.
Wolf eels are thought to be nocturnal, but may emerge from their dens to eat during the day also. Studies have been inconclusive as far as feeding habits go and more information is necessary to determine when they feed.
It is assumed that wolf eels forage areas in their territories for food. A study by Hulberg found that wolf eels had large amount of food in their stomachs but low amount of prey in the area of the eels.
