missing skeletor eel

[kaylshouse15]

Hiya, recently added a S/M skeletor eel to my 150 gallon tank. Haven't seen him since i got him, had him for 4 days. I have netted lid, checked the sump and around the back but no sign ! Housed with tangs, and a M snowflake eel with lots of hiding places. Do you think itll just take more time for him to come out ?

Did you look in the overflow. Yeah they can tuck away where you will never find them, and it may take a while for them to come out. If you are sure he did not go carpet surfing, you'll just have to be patient. He'll come around when he gets hungry.

Take a plastic rod, end of net or similar and slowly comb through sand and see if it pops out.
If not check sump.
If not check floor around sump and tank
