Most of them wont eat. Cyanide.

If you don't want to put the effort into conditioning the eel to captivity
Its a quarantine price. I would want proof..

Couldnt tell from pic, blue or black? Black is 100 less.
Definitely black

The thing is, they may never gain their adult colors.
Eli went from yellow back to black once she went into my reef.

No go at 250. 180 max
I may go up there this weekend or on the way home from work and see if I can schedule a time to see him eat…

Getting him will change any other fish additions.

Is yours out a lot?

Also need to consider aquascape current and future….

Does your eel make tunnels?
Nope

She is always out, until she stuffs her belly. Once her belly is full, she is in hiding for a day. After that she swims around and relaxes around the rocks. They should feel that safe in our tanks.

I was thinking about the price tag, I paid 200 for mine. She was not eating, but was yellow. She was clean, and not eating at the time.

So, I would inspect for anything that looks like loose threads on the eel. You do not want to bring in marine leeches. They are complicating to treat.

Finally fragged the pectinia (2 eyes) the purple/pink octo (2 heads) and the purple green Frammer (lots). Was able to pull 4 heads off the Grandis paly. I am going to let everything heal up and hopefully it all makes it OK. I have some frags of zoas planned but didn't want to press my luck tonight. They look good nice clean cuts so I am hopeful. The plate is good to go as well.

Thats already a big list. You dont need to worry on zoas. They just make such pretty gardens.

Here's to hoping both of our batches get to their new homes

I was going to take pics of torch color progression, my cbb was having panic attacks
I'll give it a week and see if any new color pops up.
Regal has been bullying the cbb as well.
Mirror trick?

Running some carbon overnight maybe that will help.
BTW how are you feeling? Better? the doggos? Mini humans ok too?
Im almost 100%
Had to rehome our shiba. She kept trying to trip me when i carried the baby.

Doby, always moves her bed next to the baby stuff. I gave up moving her bed away

Bday, dremel or more reef stuff? I know im really ahead of myself here. But if my torch gets more yellow in... gunna have to share the love.

edit And get torch to thrive...

The yellow is over half way on some tentacles, cant see that in this photo. I'm leaving her alone as my cbb is still afraid of me. Fish go missing and he thinks hes next.
