Woah, bad news if it is , looks like a banded. I will wait and let someone with more expertise chime in, but if it is most are downright nasty in home tanks. Can you get a better pic of the head?
no, banded sea snake (poisonous) but i am not a pro, also would like to see the head, but tail looks like it........ Bang should know, he has much more broad knowledge.
Like I said, others know more about these than myself. It apears common thought is garden eel. sorry if i jumped the gun, just some people catch SS and try to bring them home because they "look cool" and it always makes me cringe.
well he's in my 65 g....so i don't really consider that a nano...
But yeah i should probably add more sand. haha thats okay brains, just had me scared there for a sec
This board is odd, many live right on the coast. Not uncommon for a newbie to just take a stroll to the beach or when diving to take something "cool" home. No offence to you Florida folk.
Wasnt till I saw Colorado and 2400 posts that I relaxed. Again sorry if I hit the fire alarm premature. I was legitimatley worried when I saw the pic though.
The pictured fish is the orange barred garden eel a.k.a. splendid garden eel, Gorgasia preclara. Below is the fishbase link:
