Bought this zebra moray eel for my 75-gallon tank. It’s been two months and it’s active but not causing any issues. I placed it in a corner away from corals and it seems comfortable. The eel is calm most of the time and only moves when startled. Great for a beginner with some caution.

First time keeping a moray eel. The zebra moray is not aggressive and stays in its designated area. I noticed it’s curious about the tank walls and sometimes explores near the substrate. I keep an eye on it, and it’s not damaging any corals yet.

Easy to set up and maintain. The eel has adapted well to the tank environment. I monitor it daily and it shows no signs of stress. The size range matches the S option, and it’s growing steadily without issues.
