The eel is active and peaceful in our 75-gallon tank. It blends well with the reef setup and doesn’t interfere with other fish. Only requires a stable environment and regular feeding. A great addition for experienced aquarists.

We’ve had this eel for six months now. It’s calm and stays mostly hidden during the day. Feeding is straightforward, and it’s a good fit in our reef tank. Needs a large tank though, which we already have.
Sonia Carr –
The orange banding is striking and the eel is very docile. It doesn’t chase or stress other fish. We appreciate the reef compatibility and the fact that it’s not aggressive.
