So one of our LFS'ess is abandoning saltwater, and is doing a clearance of all their saltwater fish for 50% off!
Mostly, they really just had a variety of clownfish, but I couldn't say no to this guy (for 35$)...

Hes a pretty impressive young banded moray eel - about 10-12". Owners have had him for about 3-4mos in their system. Seems very healthy - eating right away.

I have never QTd one of these guys before though - and my searches seem to be coming up short or with conflicting advice. Im assuming I can give him the standard CP/PRAZI treatment...? Do eels handle CP and Prazi well, I assume since they are still classified as a fish, they could carry all the same parasites/diseases,etc?!?

Any QT advice from experienced eel handlers would be appreciated. Thanks!

Typically, I just use prazi and observation on morays. Copper may put them off feed and chloroquine has some odd toxicity some times.
