I think because most people here have reef tanks, and clown triggers aren't the best reef fish available. The eel isn't agreat reef choice either!

Other than the obvious ( if it will fit in the mouth ..... ) when it comes to the eel ... is there anything else that would make it unsuitable for a reef tank ?

I have seen them living happily with larger clows, tangs, wrasses. Dez has one and he loves it. He gives him a tiger prawn every couple of days and it just gulps them back. I would take it, but my wife and I want some tiny perc's to watch grow.

As far as I know its only the fit in the mouth thing thats a problem.They do need a larger tank because they can get to a pretty good size.But what else can you put with it thats large enough not to be become lunch and still be reef safe?

Eels are also notorious escape artists, so you'd have to ensure your tank was completely covered.

When I started out with salt water I was into eels before reef then it sort of evolved into reef over time. Two problems with an eel in a reef tank are waste and destruction. The waste from the eel can be compensated for with a huge skimmer. The real problem is they are very strong and create havoc on your live rock and corals; they knock every thing down swimming through the rock work. Smaller eels like a miniature golden eel, etc. can work in a reef but are still better in their own set up.

I now have a separate eel, predator tank they are very cool fish IMO. So ya some one should buy that eel it's a good price!

Oh the fit in mouth thing, if kept well feed they "generally" don't eat other fish very often. They are horrible hunters, almost blind, and very lazy.

Dave ... You have seen my tank right ? ... I have always wanted a eel and was wondering what type you figure would work in my reef setup ? ... if any :confused: ... I got the skimmer covered but are there lots of smaller species to choose from and if so what are they ?
