The only new life i added to my aquarium is the carpet, can any one tell me what happend? all my other fishes n corals r doing great. is it that my tank isnt fully established or can it be the carpet?

Very sorry to hear this.

Certainly could have been the carpet but also could be an unstable tank. Since your other fish are fine though, maybe the carpet I don't trust them at all. Especially with bottom dwellers like eels.
