snowflake eel

[keston]

Hi reefcentral I have 2 questions.

1: If anyone else at the forum has a snowflake eel what do you all feed it. I have been giving mines brine shrimp but I don't know if it eats it or not because I rarely see it come out at day times and at night time I have no idea where it is in the aquarium.

2: Would some mushrooms go good with false percuilar clowns.

At the risk of sounding like a jerk... you should really find out basic care requirements of an animal BEFORE you purchase it. Do a search on RC or Google and you'll get plenty of info. I believe SF eels are primarily crustacean eaters.

Mushroom corals get along fine with perc clowns, just don't expect the clowns to host them. Mushrooms

I read aroud on the internet before purchasing and brine shrimp, and clams were good for it how ever though mines seems to prefer krill.

This must be a really small SFE, remember that these fish are crusteacean eaters, hence the pebble-toothed jaws. Small gulf shrimp chunks.

I feed mine shrimp,scallops and clams. Go to your grocery store for the shrimp and the scallops.

fresh cleaned squid is all mine will eat.

My snowflake will eat anything. Pellets, formula, whatever. He really likes fresh seafood like octopus, squid, etc. Give him some time and he should not refuse much.
