I was told it was a banded but It could be. Also the lighting is bad,
I’ll post a good picture before I put it in the tank.

I’m not sure of the species. What size is it?

About 6 in
I think it May actually be a barred (echidna) moray

I have seen the eel in the tank he’s wake at like 11 pm (yesterday) trying to feed him frozen mussel squid and mysis

Hi, I’m happy to say I finally go the eel to take food. Yesterday night I fed him some cut up shrimp and he took it and went back to his burrow so I assume he ate it
Here’s a photos from yesterday

Nice
Definitely a moray though!

Yeah I thought so looks like a barred moray Echidna Polyzona.
Do you know if to will become a problem in the future? From what I’ve seen is they grow to around 2ft and are relitivly fish safe. Will eat invertebrates.

Ok thanks

Yes he is a small mild mannered pebble tooth eel.

I got the eel to take food with light out.
How would I know if the eel is fully eating or just taking the food and dropping it? I have fed pieces of shrimp that are cut up into roughly a centimeter or 0.4in. The eel takes them off the tweezers and then goes right into it’s burrow
