i just got one from DD last night and it will be delivered tomorrow- FYI i didnt know this but if your willing to pickup at your closest Fedex location you can still saturday delivery at no extra cost but you have to actually call in to LA to make the order instead of doing it online.

hope he does well for you - the one i bought of DD i just saw for the first time since putting him in the tank last night. he looked healthy and packaging was top notch when i received him though. What size tank is yours going into an how much LR do you have?

Going into a 46bow. And about 10 ofa of live rock and 40 lbs of dry.
He came in well. Would.t come out for a pic though

yeah, I'm still waiting for mine to actually show his face for any extended period of time. In hindsight I really wish I had put him in a smaller tank to start with so I could feed him a little easier. Right now he's in a 110 with about 90-100 lbs of LR with PVC bracing so he has TONS of places to hide. It's starting to worry me that I havent been able to feed him directly but im hoping he has at least eaten some of the critters in the tank. There are quite a few peppermint shrimp in there too and I know some hide out in the cave I saw im in the other night and it wouldn't hurt my feelings any if he chowed down on those guys.

when i put mine in yesterday about 14:00. He went behind the rocks and hid most of the day. the lights were not on. i was using a flash light to find him. late in the night he was aout and about.
at that time i tried to feed liversides to him. at first he did not look interested at all. then i slowly dragged the food away and he started to come out of the hole he was in. then he grabbed it with alot of aggression and then ate it in the back of the tank

It is Live Aquaria's WYSIWYG part of their website, Diver's Den. Pretty much the #1 place to get fish online.

i have had my baby skeletor eel for a couple weeks now. when i tried to get him to eat some mysis worked well to get him out, and also mine loves clam strips just slice them pretty thin so they can eat it, i just make sure they eat 1 or 2 peices every other day while there small especially if thers other fish in the tank

They are absolutely awesome eels, loved mine, also bought from LADD but lost mine when i didnt eel proof my tank as well as i had thought(didnt go carpet surfing, he got into my overflow and went down through my pipes and got stuck in a pump ). Mine loved to eat PE mysis.

so far mine will eat whatever i put in front of him.
he leaves the lions alone. the are comparable in size. he has "smelled" them when feeding is going on but no attacking has happened.
