To my knowledge, the sunfish is harmless and friendly to humans. Oriental fishermen often doom them to a horrible death by chopping off their dorsal fins for 'shark fin soup'. The sunfish is then unable to move.
They look small and harmless poking out of coral reefs, but I know from personal experience these eels can grow up to 9 feet long and can easily take a limb off of a diver.
