Snowflake eel

[reefwars]

ive always had one in my reeftank, ive owned several over the years ranging from juvies to adults and they are not "reefsafe" towards inverts or small fish.

keeping one while its young in a reef tank is easy but as it matures your gonna want to move it to a bigger aquarium as they eventually develop a taste for small fish and anything with a shell.during feeding time they will grab anything thats in front of them as they are pretty much blind and often create a bit of a stir for others.


keeping it well fed is essential in delaying this and they need a "lair" to retreat back to with food or to hide out from the light.



beautiful creatures and by far one of my faves and ive always owned one but not good for a small tank or in a community of small fishes cheers
