Ribbon Eel

Rhinomuraena quaesita

Reef Safe

Grace your marine aquarium with the mesmerizing presence of the Ribbon Eel. With its long, ribbon-like body and striking coloration that transitions from bright yellow to electric blue, this eel species is a captivating sight to behold. Despite its intimidating appearance, the Ribbon Eel is generally considered reef safe, making it suitable for well-established reef aquariums. However, it's essential to provide plenty of hiding spots within rock formations or sandy substrate to mimic its natural habitat and ensure its comfort. While the Ribbon Eel is relatively peaceful towards tank mates, it may exhibit territorial behavior if housed with other eels or similar species. Offering a varied diet consisting of meaty foods such as small fish, shrimp, and squid helps maintain its health and vitality in captivity. With its unique beauty and intriguing behavior, the Ribbon Eel adds an exotic flair to marine aquariums, enchanting observers with its graceful movements and vibrant colors.
