Thought I'd share a few pics of my eel tank

Everything in the tank, I caught just off shore across the street ....

5 Stout Morays
1 Ringed Moray
Black Hawaiian filter feeding Ashey cucumber
5 electric orange hermit crabs
3 Hawaiian Mud crabs
12 pacific turbo snails
24 nerite snails
1 Rock boring sea urchin
1 large black hawaiian brittle star
24 micro hermits
3 tiger shrimp
and two rare cowries - a Orange Alisons Cowry and a unidentified Black cowrie

All this crammed into a 20 gallon tank.
I know it's crowded but its hard to resist ;-)

not sure how much it weights ...
Its a lot hole-ier than it looks ...

Beautifull large chunks or rock wash up all the time, especially after a big swell ...

life is good ....

As long as I'm able, I'll be happy to share my little Island world with anyone who visits ...

My living arrangements are a bit on the meager side, but I'll be happy to share whatever I got ...


The song on the eel video is Jack Johnson's "Flake"
Jack Johnson, as it turns out grew up here on the North Shore. It's kinda funny that I was a fan before I knew ..... funny how the littlest things all seem to come together ....

aloha ....
