not 100% but are basically half blind, mostly smell

That's right Leah I got him a month or so ago from Neal at Marine experience. I had wanted him for awhile but was scared to add him cause I was worried the trigger would hurt him. Saw the eel at the store and figured I'd risk it since he was so big I figured he could handle himself. Never thought they'd be buds

Absolutely especially since the trigger thinks my fingers are food Thankfully a good tap on the glass scares him to the back of the tank, and I'm usually pretty quick when I've got my fingers in the tank. He hasn't gotten me yet but has come very close a few times.

I have a snowflake eel about the same size and she never swims out in the open in the day like that. Beautiful specimen you have!

Thank-you. He mostly only swims in the open around feeding time but every now and then he gets adventurous.
