Hello all,
About two weeks ago i added a beautiful specimen called a skeletor moray eel to my REEF tank. This tank was designed to hold every coral out there with small safe reef fish and all inverts. Well i decided to take a risk and add a (with caution) eel to my display tank. If it works it would be the most perfect way to cap off my livestock. Well, let me tell you so far he has been a perfect gentleman. He allows all 4 shrimp on him and in his mouth for cleaning. Its funny to see him swim with the shrimps hitching rides. He shows absolutely NO aggression at all towards anything in my tank. He stays strictly within the rocks and never comes out from them. He does not stick his head out from the rocks, he is very reclusive during the day. At night he is active staying within the rocks and occassionally poking his head around. Ive fed him twice so far and he loves raw shrimp and crab meat from key foods. I will not hand feed him...his jaws almost rip the feeding tongs out of my hands...his jaws are POWERFUL...wow. Also blind as a bat. So far ive been so pleased with him. He is my favorite by far. Totally recommended if you can find one.
