notes
   A great eel for alot of aquariums. Stays fairly small and typically is pretty mild mannered and passive. Larger specimens may become a little boistrous at times. The Snowflake is not as shy as other members in its family, but still enjoys the comfort of a good hiding place.   
overview
  
The Snowflake Moray (Echidna nebulosa) is sometimes called a Clouded Moray or a Starry Moray. Typically reaching a max size of about 30.0 inches in length, the Snowflake Moray is generally passive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out or do best in the lower tank area. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Echidna nebulosa should not be housed in a tank less than 30 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include plenty of hiding places and a stable cave/sheltering ledge.
