Sorry for the bad pic, but that's my banded moray (e. polyzona) He jumped the first night I had him through a TINY hole. He was probably on the floor for close to 6hrs. Threw him back in and he acted pretty "slow" for a week. Didn't eat for 4 weeks. Now he is an absolute pig and healthy as can be. Acts pretty much exactly like a snowflake.
 
How big is yours? Mine is about 16", but hard to really know because he never comes out during the day, except for poking his head around. I'm curious as to whether or not his colors will change as he gets larger. Mine loves krill, squid, mysis (just shoot the baster into his cave), clams, and silversides. Feed him 3x a week until full.
 
Id say hes about 14"..thanks for the advice..Im going to have to close off all the holes he can get through...had a chain link eel jump a while back so Ive learned that lesson
