Eel in reef tank?

[Treehrtsme]

My eels definitely considerably smaller than yours what types are yours? Never seen the Grey one before

That's a white eyed moray. Probably less than 10 inches when I bought it

Legitimate question, do these guys bite if you stick your hand in there?

Depends on their temperament. Mine tend to think anything is food and will nip at me but a bigger moray can seriously mess you up. Used to work at an lfs that had a near 6 footer green moray in one of their back systems and I would pet the thing all day long but it was just docile. My uncle on the other have was hospitalized by a wild moray as captain of a drift fish boat. Naturally the fish was ticked after being hooked and they have some nasty teeth.

Not to mention their pharyngeal / raptorial jaws. If they get ahold of your finger, kiss it goodbye.

Oh wow! I was considering a tank for an eel but maybe I will reconsider. Knowing me I will stick my hand in there and it will bite me lol

Mostly Alone in a 60b with a lot of PVC. Eels love PVC and apparently skimmers. Put a large older skimmer in there and he moved right in. I have a 220 prepped for him at a moment's notice though.

They can. I had feed my eels and have gotten bitten before when they mistake my finger for food. I have one that also bites if your hand goes near his cave even if Im not feeding. But mine are pretty good about not biting, I just think they associate my hands with food. Thats why you should always use tongs lol but I lost mine and was too lazy to get another pair. Been hand feeding them over a year now

I'm not bored! My heat pump went out last night and I'm hauling in wood to burn! At 8 at night in the rain and dark! The furnace DOES work, but the lack of a heat pump turns a $150 bill into $450. That ain't happenin' man!

Well you definitely have more going on than I do lol. Its lightly raining here so I decided to stay in so I won't melt. Currently mixing up some ground beef for tacos while sipping on a glass of bourbon. So no boredom here! Good luck hauling wood and hopefully your heat pump will be back up and running sooner than later.

Oh yeah. I ain't worried. Too old to worry. And it keeps my muscles and tendons limber. Very important at my age, lol! I had Juaritas (spelling?) tonight. The local meat market makes it once weekly and it goes fast. And I got there in time!
