Snowflake moray eel

[mrme123]

I am looking to get a snowflake moray eel in my tank as my little boy is fascinated with them. Any tips or information about them? I’ve been reading and trying to learn about them before I decide to do it. The local fish store guy said the corals will be safe with him in the tank.

Make sure your top is completely covered. They will jump out. Had it happen

How can I cover it with a reef tank? Will the lights be able to penetrate the water?

yes they should be, you can also try a diy screen top and use a screen frame with corners, and just secure it with a clip of some sort to make sure that the eel cant push the top up.

Egg crate used for lighting. They can/ will get out of the smallest opening.
