Gorgeous score man. That is one beautiful specimen. Can't say that I've ever seen one around here that was more colourful, that's for sure.

Well you know I bought it just to try and out do you with your achilles and powder blue tangs lol. The Japanese male dragons are always much deeper in color especially red over the Hawaiians that you normally see available thats why I wanted to hold out for one. There the same eel and they say the color really varies but from every pic I've seen the Japanese and hawaiians are two different color varients of each other

He's in his own tank. I put him in a newly set up 120 gallon tank thats going to be a reef when it's a bit more established. Gonna move some hardy corals from my 210 into it in the next few weeks as long as everything is going smoothly. The white eye eel and snowflake went to Janet at OA who is in love with the white eye. Was going to keep them all but when the opportunity came around to get the dragon eel I had to part with them cause compatibility wise wasn't sure if the dragon would get along with them or not. Would have hated to see such nice eels fighting and having to seperate them .

Default eel

Your eel is going to double your food bill but its worth it.They love formula one cube/octupus and squid.You can buy baby octupus at asian speciaty stores.Remember if he grabs your finger dont pull back.He will know you are not food after chomping on you for a couple secs.Causes more damage to your finger if you pull back.Mine grabbed me one day and did the alligator roll. You still pull back

Yep same with snakes they say don't pull back but how can you not when you see a mouth full of teeth flying at you lol. You try not too but just a natural reaction. Have you seen the clip of the guy hand feeding a large moray and it takes off his thumb then they stitch on a toe to replace it? I think I'd rather be thumbless than be toe thumb guy lol. It looked horrible
