Snowflake Eel

[Seventy7INa45]

Hi, I have a snowflake eel that is about 11" long. There was a lot of aiptasia in my tank and I am afraid my snowflake eel was stung by one. He has small splotches on his belly and tail. I have since killed most of those aiptasia but now I am worried how to treat the eel. Please Help!

if he was stung there is nothing you can do.

I agree with daugherty!

would a sting from the aiptasia cause a lump to appear on his stomach?

It could. He will probably be okay. Fish can be irritated by aiptasia stings, but they rarely cause permanent damage. Just keep an eye on it, and make sure he keeps eating.

Do you really have an 11" eel in a 37g (30" long) tank?
What do you have for the substrate?
