    Yeah mine are both Juvi's except the Emperor is a bit bigger. My tank is 72x36x27H. There's plenty of swim room in there. Hopefully they all stay behaved! Even if he gets chased around every so often, He's still in a better place than the 32gal I took him from. Nice looking puffer you got there! I put a couple pics up in my 300DD thread of the Koran & Emperor so you can see them.

    72x36 is a great size,they'll be fine IMO..
    He's still in QT but i do plan on putting him in the growing reef DT..I really don't think he'll bother the corals but the shrimps and urchin may have to go .

    Have you had an eel before? I used to have a snowflake eel. He was super cool, but as he grew he became more destructive. i.e. Knocking down my aquascape and also became a jumper. There was a yellowish/orange (forget the name of it) eel at a LFS by me and I considered buying it for my 300, but at $300 I decided against it. Keep him well fed or fishy's will come up missing!

    IMG_0004.JPG Thanks for the input ..
    This is my first eel ,i did a lot of research on the Zebra moray though.
    I just did this to my top .I hope its good enough to keep him in..I also read that while the zebra is indeed an eel ,they are one of the ones that are least likely to try and escape or snack on your fish..But yes,obviously to keep them well fed ..From what i gather that means twice a week ..

    Funny, after reading this yesterday I went to my LFS for RO and was browsing and low and behold they have a HUGE Zebra Moray in there for sale. This store never has eels either. Now you have me re thinking that yellow one I saw!

    I did some Googeling.. I think it was a Golden Moray I saw. I'll have my LFS look into it. I'm trying to do some upgrades to my truck & plan a trip to Puerto Rico here soon, so I have to prioritize LOL. I'll live vicariously through you for a few!

    Oh it's on the list now! Thanks for the inspiration! Now I need to find all my glass lids I took off my tank.
