Best way:

Take a gallon jug, slice the top off, and trap the eel.

Easiest way:
rock slide.


But seriously fish traps that are large enough are pretty easy. If you have your live rock stacked like i do and it's impossible to move the LR simply...you might be better off leaving the eel. If you NEED to remove the eel you might as-well suck it up and start taking out LR piece by piece. You will need a lot of 5 gallon buckets

sorry you had too do that, I've had to break down my LR a few times for missing coral and once for a rogue emerald crab that was killing fish.

It's a pain but at-least you got the little guy out.
