Default Garden Eel in the Anenome

We put a fairly large purple tipped anenome in the tank hoping the clownfishes might take up residence, but they didn't. Instead the Garden Eel did. I haven't heard of this before, you guys heard of it?

Well, he decided that the anenome wasn't the right place for him and he moved. He was there two days...I was beginning to think he was staying there permantly. Life is good in the aquarium....all are healthy and happy.....for now.

I wish you had a pick of the eel performing that strange behavior. Now, are you sure it wasn't "trapped" in the nems stinging cells?

Default Re: Garden Eel in the Anenome

I wondered too, if it was trapped. But I don't think so, he seemed to be moving freely through the anenome, and burrowing in the live sand all around it. He was feeding even. So, no, I don't think he was trapped, just hanging out. And shoot, you're right, I should have gotten a picture!
