Eel in my live rock?
 

My live rock arrived yesterday.

Went down before bedtime to check it out, it was dark.

There was something fish-like swimming up and down very fast against the end glass. It was about 1-1/2 inches long, shaped kind of like an eel or tadpole, with a head area at one end. I didn't get much of a good view of it. As soon as I turned on the lights it zoomed into a small hole in the live rock and did not come out.

I don't know the color, it was in the dark.

I don't think it was a worm, just from the pattern of swimming, it was swimming the way a fish would.

Any ideas what this is? I don't imagine any type of eel or fish would survive transport in the live rock.

your need to get a red light to see it :D

Actually I've heard of several instances of eels in particular making in in live rock shipments, I met a girl in Edmonton who'd picked up some sort of moray that way.

Could be a small eel. When that rock came in I found a small baby moray on the bottom of one of the boxes still alive, so I put him in our coral tank.

I took some of your rock out of that tank, so it could be him or maybe one of his relatives. :biggrin:

See if you can get a picture of him for us.

I will try to catch a pic of him.

Any luck determining what it is yet?

Haven't seen him since, making some DIY LED moonlights and maybe I'll see him then.
