Such a pretty fish Anthony. Thanks for sharing the video. Don't' see them very often at LFS (which is a good thing IMHO) ... at least not around here. We do have one local reefer who has one that's several years old now. It takes a lot of work and the perfect set-up for long term success with them. Unfortunately the success rate with them is extremely low.

Beautiful, I hope it is purchased by someone capable of caring for it and not destined to death.
saw... the eel but didn't know what kind he was... thanks for sharing
That's a BEAUTIFUL Eel and I missed it the first time LOL!
Ribbon eel
It's SO cool how this eel not only changes COLOR but it's sex as it matures. Starts off black with yellow dorsal fin. As it gets older the black becomes a very bright blue with a yellow snout and lower jaw (Male color change). Once it gets older (appx 3 1/2' - 4') the male now becomes yellow and transforms into a functional female (eggs and all).
