Garden Eel in a refugium?

[ferret]

Not a good idea for housing a garden eel. Actually I've experienced keeping one garden eel in my refugium with 7"dsb with another 8" water on top and tons of macro algae for culturing pods and mysis. The eel was only kept together with 4 nos. of peppermint shrimps for releasing live baby shrimps bi-weeekly and the eel had survived for 7 months only and my refugium is more than 30 gal. HTH
