Snowflake eel

[Dez]

I have a snowflake eel in my 54 Gallon....set up for about 1/2 a year now. The snowflake was one of the first creatures in it, along with a bi-color blenny, and a small tomato clown. Nothing bad so far. I feed it krill, silversides, clams (in the shell), and mussel (in the shell). The tank is full of soft corals and 3 types of gorgonian. I do have a long-spined urchin (diadema) and it is fine. I do not have hermit crabs but there are a few hitchhiker snails in there and they're still there. The snowflake was from a friend who's had it for more than a year, It's about 28 inches now.

In my 180, I have a zebra eel and the smallest fish are the blue devil damsels. I have 4 of them and they are compatable. This eel also feeds off of a feeding stick. This tank is a full soft coral reef with one LPS in it (an oversized green brain). There are no crabs or snails in this tank. my algae control is a Kole tang and soon to have a Clown tang (thanks Deb). There is also a picasso trigger and niger triggers.

I have had a very good time with the eels....and I don't feed them much....about twice a week (usually when company is over....for their entertainment)....

Hope this little bit helps for all who are considering.

If anybody has any snails with triggers, let me know. I want to try some but I don't want them to be a meal to the triggers.

Thanks.
