Gliese 229 Ab

Gliese 229 Ab is a planet larger than Neptune and slightly outside the habitable zone of its star. It may have large moons but they would most likely be icy but because of tidal forces, they could be like Jupiter's moon Europa, with a subsurface ocean or even like Earth if the atmosphere is thick enough.
