Snowflake Moray Eel

The Escape Artist (The Carpet Surfer Death):

The Heavy Lid Mandate. Eels are essentially thick ropes of pure, solid muscle. THE FATAL MISTAKE: If you have a flimsy plastic lid or leave an open gap for a filter hose, the Eel will find it during its midnight explorations, push the lid open, slither out of the tank, and end up dried out and dead on your living room floor. You MUST have a perfectly sealed, incredibly heavy or locked glass canopy over the tank to keep them imprisoned.

Feeding and The Blind Bite:

The Feeding Tong Rule. Because their vision is so unbelievably bad, when you drop food in the water, they smell the juices and just start frantically snapping their jaws blindly at the water trying to hit the food. NEVER HOLD FOOD WITH YOUR BARE HANDS. They will miss the shrimp, clamp their powerful, bone-crushing flat teeth onto your finger, and refuse to let go. You MUST feed them raw shrimp (with the shell on to file their teeth) or squid using extremely long metal feeding tongs, and only feed them 2 to 3 times a week to prevent fatal liver disease.

The Invertebrate Slaughter (Compatibility):

The Crustacean Nightmare. They are actually very safe to keep with medium-to-large marine fish (Tangs, Angelfish, Triggers) because they don't eat fish. HOWEVER, they will immediately hunt down, crush, and swallow any expensive ornamental shrimp (Cleaner Shrimp, Peppermint Shrimp) or crabs in the tank. Your entire 'Clean Up Crew' will be systematically eaten.
