I want info on the chestnut moray, please. Can anyone here tell me his minimum tank size, compatible tank mates, and where you could find it?

Your best bet is to contact a diver and have one caught. A 55 would work but it would have to be a species only tank-no fish tankmates. You could get lucky and spot one in the "drs den", I've never seen one there and I'm sure it would sell immediately if they ever get one. There is a company in Hawaii that will catch and ship viper morays,not cheap, similar to a chestnut. Forum rules don't allow me to post it but its not hard to find. viper pic near bottom of page

No online stores regularly stock these. One site that specializes in 'just rare fish' had a couple about a year ago. Contact them and let them know you are looking, they will more than likely require a deposit. That site is your best bet other than contacting a diver. You could always ask your LFS if their supplier can find one, you are going to a pay a premium if they can.
