garden eel care

[Ro Bow]

im not starting off with these of course, but i may want to add them to my tank in the future. I either want the spotted or spectacular garden eels. My tank is a 65 gallon, and will be a mixed reef. I plan to later add a deeper sand bed adequate for garden eels.

I will probably add one in december, i was just wondering on care...

I hear they're "expert only", but is that because of how delicate they are, or feeding?

Also what do you feed them, how much, and how often?

sorry about all the questions

Of course I've done some research but I was wondering if any Garden Eel Keepers can...
