Care: In the tank, the Snowflake Moray will take frozen or freeze-dried krill, fish, shrimp, and most meaty foods. It can be taught to hand feed, although this should be done with caution, as it can inflict a painful bite. This is a very hardy eel, but an escape artist. The 130 gallon or larger tank to house an eel needs to be tightly sealed. Most of these eels that are lost in an aquarium are due to poorly sealed tanks. The Snowflake Moray Eel is safe to house with any fish it cannot easily swallow.
