I'm up to about 6 Garden Eels now! No one else seems to have them but Feng at Red Sand - we got 2 more yesterday! Luv em! I have 1 of the FishCams pointed toward 2 of them now ... http://tinyurl.com/GardenEelCam

Another item only at feng's! What you keepin them in?

They're in my 60g reef ... almost 6" of sand in certain areas. They seem happy. Take a look at this video I shot ... not the best quality ... but VERY VERY cool to watch them "wiggle" down into the sand! Love these guys!

Very cool, I liked how he backed into the sand.

Hi Sandee - They are fascinating guys aren't they! I am interested in adding one sometime. Our chiodren are sooo bored with my lightly stocked reef. How much do they go for and what do you feed them?
Thanks!

I am curious how long you have been keeping them? I read they can be difficult to keep due to their specialized diet, but it sounds as if you have been successful.

What are you feeding them?

Very cool, wish I had a DSB to keep some of those critters!

I have seen these in AO months ago. They also had those really cool looking basket stars in there.

I heard they were difficult to feed, but so far so good. They like Mysis, marine flake and even tiny pellets. I do mix it with tank water, and squirt it in their direction. They'll only eat what floats by ...

A nice one on FishCam 3 now ...
