Orphan livestock
Got a call today from a friend who found an abandoned 5 gallon tank next to a dumpster with a snowflake eel, horseshoe crab and some hermits. The tank was not well kept. I got the livestock taken care of. Crabs went through an acclimation then 3 quart soaks and a light scrub on the shells. The hermits are in the sump and the horseshoe is in the DT. The eel is in 5 gal quarantine for now. Can't decide if I want to keep it in my DT or find it a new home. Anyone else keep a snowflake in a mixed reef?? Anyone have a nice size tank that would want it?? The eel is 14"-16". I have no small fish two sea stars, several hermits and lots of different corals.

Good rescue, put some pvc in there for him to hide in and cover the tank because they will escape.

Eel is eating pellets and frozen mysis. Glad to see it eat. Anyone interested in this guy for their tank?? I am debating medicating it, but as long as it eats and looks healthy I can see why I should. Any help would be great.
