Jupiter......I know exactly how you feel about letting that eel go. I've got a Panther Grouper and a Snowflake Eel that I'm getting rid of on Monday. The eel is my 'baby' - he's very interactive with me at feeding time. He likes to curl up in my hand and eat while poking his head between my fingers. I hate to have to let him go but if I ever want to get a full reef tank going, I gotta. The panther grouper - good riddance! I've BEEN wanting to get rid of him.
