I had one 20 years ago before all the reef set ups (UG filters crushed coral and lots of water changes) ve called him Pabst..paper thin and looked just like a ribbibn swimming about

Peter,

Hardest part is getting them to eat.I had a blue ribbon eel for almost two years. I fed it silversides, krill both soaked in zoe, zoecon, and garlic.

When I first got him, it took him 7 weeks before he started to eat. Six months after that he was eating from my hand. This was in a FOWLR set up, not a reef.
He ultimately met his demise only as a result of a giant red hermit crab I had caught his tail, mucnhed on it, and he wound up bleeding out.
 
Thanks Kevin.

I decided that I won't get one afterall. Even if I can get it to eat, it will probably escape from the tank - and I do not want to cover up my tank.
