Thy are not no where near the danger as bubble coral or galaxia. Galaxia is not allowed in my tank. I will eventually find a spot for a bubble coral. One day. Just not today.

Agreed they are cool looking just not in my tank.

They would rather go under the rock than in a cup.

Distance is good.

Some plates setup.

makes for a nice side view.
Just not for quality pics.

Thinking of getting smaller fish. This runs risky though.
Bar goby is on the list, but may cause issues with my firefish.
Still debating on anthias species to attempt.

So.. this morning... I am sure Eli still has internal parasites. White long and stringy poo....
I'll need to get a new bottle of metro. But not sure exactly how many treatments of prazi to use. Perhaps 3? 7 days apart while feeding her metro?

Can’t send a recommendation for prazi schedule for Eli but can send some good luck that the stomach issues clear up quickly.

Regular fish were a breeze to deworm. Eli doesnt do well in prazi. Or, I can ramp it up. but.. i can lace her food. I'd need to get powdered. But.. metros complcated with her size now.

I'll get it figured.

Now I want one of these... way too big though...
I hate fish.

I don't know much about treatments and even less about treating eels. I have seen many posts by Jay where he talks about feeding medicated food is not really the best option. Some of the takeaways I remember were: He says the amount needed is complicated to figure out. most people under dose and the correct dosages often makes the food taste too unappealing and that there is no way to account for the medicine that makes into the water column before consumption. I did find an article he wrote though that may be helpful. https://www.reef2reef.com/ams/proper-dosing-of-medicated-foods.780/

I think there were a couple eel experts that were helping you when you first got Eli. I would definitely reach out to them for advice as well

Good luck! I'll be rooting for you.
