Does anyone else have a zebra moray eel? I am setting up a new 125 (well new to me) and the tank came along with a 30" moray eel. I have done a bit of research on them, but would love to pick the brains of those of you that have one too.

He is passive. The guy I bought the tank from, fed him by hand (noooooo thank you! lol) He also picked him up out of the water and placed him directly into the bucket for transport. for the next few days, I will be keeping him in my existing 90 , while i get the new 125 cleaned out. This moray has lived harmoniously with his tank mates thus far, buuuuuut I'd like to set my new tank up as BB. I dont want any sand at all. Will this be suitable for him. What do you guys think?

Thanks :)

I've had one for years. As long as you have plenty of rock work I don't think a BB will be a problem. Mine likes the occasional thawed rinsed raw tiger prawn which I feed with tongs but usually will just eat large Mysis like the rest of my fish.

Same here. Only want to eat those things. One thing I like about them is when they are full they just refuse to eat more. No worries about overfeeding.
