where to find garden eels

[SourAngelfish]

We got in one at the lfs today, we’re supposedly getting two or three more shipped in... I have no idea if we’re selling them.

So that just leaves the 2 original ones?

Nice! Can you tell us more again about the sand depth and what you are feeding them and how often?

Thank you!

sand is 5-6 inches, they get a mix of mysis and brine once a day.

One of the most amazing sites I've seen in the world is diving at 140 ft off of the Big Island of Hawaii and coming across acres of garden eels in the sand.
As we moved along about 20 feet above the sand the garden eels would slide back into their homes and then re-emerge as we passed.

Wreck dive by any chance? F4-U Corsair? My daughter and I did a similar dive there and witnessed the same thing. Inside the cockpit was a rather large brain coral, some other softies, and a very large moray eel. I was pretty surprised by what was on the wreck considering there was nothing else but sand and the garden eels. Yet that plane had plenty of fish and corals.
