Description
The Ribbon Eel is a strikingly beautiful and unique saltwater fish, known for its elongated, ribbon-like body and high dorsal fins. Its color changes as it matures, starting as black in youth, turning to blue and yellow in adulthood, and finally to all yellow in old age.
Reef Safe
Yes, Ribbon Eels are considered reef safe but may pose a threat to small fish and invertebrates.
Environment
Ribbon Eels require a tank with plenty of hiding spots and a sandy substrate for burrowing. They prefer a strong current and well-oxygenated water.
Behavior
Ribbon Eels are known for their unusual behavior of burrowing in the sand with only their heads protruding. They are generally peaceful but can be aggressive towards other eels or similar species.
