I had one for about a year, absolutely loved him he was so placid ate from my fingers, one night he looked a bit hungry and i said to myself ill feed him tomorow, overnight he wandered into the weir down to the sump and into my skimmer, i dont think ive ever been so upset with a fish loss and it was completely my fault, ive ordered one again...

I don't see any issues with them and anemones. I don't have an anemone but my current one doesn't bother any of my shrimp or small fish. He's tied with being my favorite between him or the earlei.
some years back when I had an anemone my GDM never paid any attention to the anemone.

I've had mine for about 8 years now. I've got it with a bunch of large angels, tangs, wrasses, clowns etc. He will scavenge for what ever food is on the bottom, even pellets. Pretty cool, but usually don't see much besides his head except if he ventures out for food.

Just purchased one of these beauty's was so excited when my lfs had Found one. I have a 54 gallon corner and so far so good. It's been pretty shy and has stayed in the same rock and has a a few holes it seems to prefer. It is housed with a serpent starfish, male and female royal gramma, randals goby, coral banded shrimp and a circus goby. The key fear I had was for the circus goby thinking it was a little in the smaller side however the goby is much larger than the eel.
I have noticed when feeding the other fish the eel will come out and snap at some of the frozen food that crosses its path.
It's been pretty hard to photograph but I should be able to get some better ones soon.

Well hadn't seen the eel since last night was getting worried so I did some intensive investigation investigation. Not sure how it made its way to the sump but 20 min of fishing and it is back in its cave in the display. Not sure where the gap in overflow is but I will be looking for a solution.

That's a good idea during my next water change I'll have to set that up thanks.
Picking up one of these locally tomorrow. Had one a long time ago and it was a model citizen for years. Any words of wisdom beyond tight fitting lids? I've nothing in my tank that will be at risk. The CBS is now way too big as are all of my fish. Coming from a LRH, but I shall still QT.

Had mine in a 30 gallon fish only. Lost the first to carpet surfing (he got through the tiniest crack so seal your openings!), and the second stopped eating one day (after two years of eating fine) and starved to death after several months.

You're much better waiting around for a diver direct eel. I got both mine from a diver in Hawaii, got them for $125 shipped each. They pop up every so often on eBay.
