Spotted Moray

[nemo_66]

I saw one of these beasts the other day, and it was very impressive looking. It looked like it could tear you up if you messed with it. Anyway i really liked the overall look of him and was wondering what everyone thought about this eel. Is it nice? Mean? Does it do well with aggressive species or can it manage in a community tank? Im just looking for info as well as peoples personal experiences with them. Thanks in advance.

did it look like this ?
http://www.fishbase.org/Photos/Pictu...1&what=species if so then def not an eel you want to play with or use in a comunity tank and should be left in the ocean IMHO
i have this species yes hes cool but can be very dangerous to hobbiest and other tank mates ..and yes he can rip your hand apart.. must be housed alone or with fish you concider food for him
