Substrate for Eel??

[benihuma]

If I want to get a snowflake eel, do I have to have live sand substrate, or will my crushed coral suffice?

my eel's substrate is mostly ls with some cc mixed in. my lfs keeps all their eels on cc so i guess it would be just fine. bo

either or, i would say that eels like ls more because somtimes they dig into it and crush coral isnt as soft

CC is fine they mainly hide among the rocks or like mine in a piece of pvc I put under the live rock. Sometimes all you see is its head sticking out of the pvc other times it is under the rocks where it pushed the cc out of the way anyhow.
