Ive seen them so much cheaper than that, I would wait and find one a bit less pricey.

You're not gonna find a Banana Moray for less than that. I'd like to know where you've seen them cheaper, surfinusa.
They're basically a reverse Golden Tail Moray.
It's not that their rare...there's just not too many suppliers selling them. I'd like to have one and one day I'm sure I will...there's not other fish I want more.
If you're wanting one, I'd snatch one up, for $400...that's a very reasonable price.

I see several sites (this one included) that list them in the $200's range, but they never have them in stock and they never list what size that is. I've never mail ordered fish before, but I'm guessing that an eel is about the safest thing you could mail order as they are typically tough to kill.
Still 400 bones is a hard pill to swallow. One day when I buy that Jap DME that pill will hurt I'm sure.

Nice pick up for that price!!! My LFS's never get them or anything that exotic in.
Does anyone know the lifespan on them?
BTW, thanks for the pic AC that was enough to push me over the edge. He's on his way to my tank. Mellow, gourgous, long lived...and as most/all eels hardy and disease resitant. How can you go wrong?

Just make sure you have alot of Live Rock to hide in.
Thanks for advise, been wanting to start my tank up, with an eel only. I will be getting plenty of live rock for him
