nice my favorite ive kept them for years this would be one of the only times i havent had a snowflake in my reef:P be careful when feeding they are pretty blind but have a awesome sense of smell ive been bitten a few times they have teeth like steak knives so it slices pretty good, even feeding with tongs you need to be careful he dont sneak up on you.

lid??

Making the lid tomorrow. I saw how much he can swim around so I def don't want him carpet surfing! I tried feeding tonight, wasn't interested. Will try again tomorrow.

He's hiding now so no pics...

for my last eel i made tunnels under all my rockwork with abs and burried it in sand and rock most times when people came to see my tank they were surprised they didnt even know a eel was in there

I picked up a seafood mix, shrimp, mussels, octopus. Same as what he was being fed. Cut it up into pieces and tried a piece with the tongs. He might not be settled yet.

Picking up some screen material, and will try to make sure there's no way out...only concern is the filter, but will figure something out.

That sucks you've lost yours, I can't believe how much I like this guy! Will you have another one?

Are you going to make a Fiberglass screen ( bug screen ) or use egg crate ?

Was going to use screen door material, he's small enough to get through egg crate.
