Product Description

The Ribbon Eel, or Ribbon Moray Eel, has unique characteristics
include a long “ribbon-like” body, delicate jaws, and tubular anterior
nostrils capped with an elaborate fan-like expansion.The colors of this eel can vary dramatically as it grows in length.
The juvenile is jet-black with a yellow dorsal fin. When it reaches
25-32 inches in length, it transforms itself into a male and will become
a bright blue with a yellow snout and lower jaw. As it grows and
reaches a length of 33 or more inches, it will transform into a female
and become entirely yellow or yellow-blue.The Ribbon Eel should be kept in a 55 gallon or larger aquarium with a
deep (4-5 inch) sandy bottom under which it can live and hide.  The aquarium requires a tight-fitting
lid to prevent escape.The Ribbon Eel feeds on live feeder fish, crab, or shrimp and does not want to compete for food
