Snowflake moray (Aka snowflake eel)

Snowflake moray eels can reach up to 30” in length, so they should be housed in nothing less than a 220g aquarium. However, as long as proper housing is given these eels are not too hard to care for

They are carnivorous, meaning their main diet is meat. Feed them fiddler crabs, ghost shrimp, pieces of meat, etc. Because snowflakes are carnivorous, make sure there are no fish in the same aquarium that could be eaten

They require very clean water, if you are planning on not using a filter make sure you have at least 1lb per gallon of quality live rock. Snowflake eels like a salinity of 1.020-1.026, a PH of around 8-8.5, and a temperature of 72f-80f . To help keep the conditions clean, it is recommended you use a protein skimmer and sump

Snowflake eels need plenty of hiding spaces, placing PVC pipes around live rock stacks works well. Snowflake eels will make every attempt to escape the tank so it’s a must to have a tight fitting hood with barely any exits. Contrary to what most people think, these eels are not electric, the only threats to their owners are their teeth.

They are not reef safe, they are predators and when they prowl for food at night they may dart into corals and tear them up. In short, it is best to setup a tank specifically for this eel, rather than risking it
