Hi there.
Was sitting on the couch after work (I work late) and noticed the Eel doing it's nightly routine. Finally remembered to take a quick video.
This is a great Eel. I have had it about 7 years. Really enjoyed it. He doesn't bother the fish and he LOVES his cleaner shrimp. They ride around on him all day. I am going to have to get rid of it with the new tank because I would really like to keep some SPS. He is a bit big and clunky for that I think. I am pretty bummed though.
It's gonna be another 2 or three months before I am ready to give him up, however I would LOVE to get him to a good home as opposed to a lfs. IMO this is one of the more beautiful Snowflakes I have seen. Great markings and not too fat. I am careful not to overfeed as I am NOT a fan of the 18" long and 9" around ones I see at the LFS that people have taken back. They will eat ALL day if you let em. LOL! My tank is 30" tall, so I estimate his length at about 25-27" I suppose. I have about a 3-4" sandbed in that corner, cause he likes to keep his cave clean. Hope you enjoy the video. One of the best things about getting home late from work is watching this "dance." He can do this for 30 or 40 minutes some times. I find it relaxing. I hand feed with tongs as I have a few large brittle stars that often steal the food before he finds it. You can actually HAND feed him if you don't mind getting bit. :O I put on some diving gloves at times and hand feed. He will wrap around your hand and wait for more.
Let me know if you have any interest in aquiring him.
