That's a healthy great looking ribbon eel. It's amazing what a non-emaciated ribbon eel looks like. Quite the difference from the ribbons you generally see at LFS. I know they can be difficult, what was your key to success? What do you feed the ribbon? How long have you had it? I've always wanted to get one but was put back by the poor survival rate of this eel. Wonder if anyone has pictures of a female turning into a male in captivity. Congrats on a great eel. Regards, Tim
 
I have had him/her for over 2 years. When I got him he was fully black and in the past 4 months he has been changing to a she. She is hand fed with fresh shrimp every 3-4 days and has also ate several tank inhabitants. (ugh) She lives in an empty conch shell in my large reef tank now and stays in that area unless she is hunting, which keys me into knowing it's time for feeding. Other than that I really haven't had much difficulty with her at all. Here is a video from a couple months ago of her when I was re-laying the big tank and had her in a smaller one until I was done. You can see how long she is in it.
 
I had a beautiful Blue ribbon eel for a few years, until it found it's way into the sump and skimmer! Yours looks great, keep the lid on. LOL
Nice fish everyone!
 
Here's my acanthurus mauliceps (aka spotted cheek tang) when I first got him.

My blochii that I had to get rid of. Never was able to get a good shot of him with his natural color.

Those Dragon Sea Moths are cute but my angels graze the rocks for pods and wouldn't have enough left for the dragons.
