Ok so I have tore down my tank due to ich/velvet. Everything in QT. The only bugger still to catch is one of my eels ! I have found him in one of the rocks ! I have put it in a bucket waiting for him to drop out but still hasn't! How do I get him out from the rock !

Are you planning to put the eel in qt with the rest? Are you planning on treating with copper, eels will not survive copper treatment; if they survive the treatment you can expect to lose him within the next several months to a year.

Put the rock with the eel in a separate qt, if the eel was in optimum health it is very unlikely he was affected by velvet or ick. He and his rock can just wait out the fallow period together.

Still nothing lol. Just glad I found the rock he was in so I can put the rest of the live rock back in the tank
When I did a upgrade I couldn’t find a trigger fish I had. Then I saw a shell outside the holding tank. He was in it and I had no idea. Needless to say he was dead 30 minutes out of water.
