it could be a tiretrack it seems, but that would be one awkwardly dark one... or perhaps its just some other smaller specie of spiny eel... but watever it is, keep ur lid shut tight eels r known to "escape"

If its a tiretrack be careful they can become aggressive.

Agressive towards what? The only thing I've ever heard of them becoming aggressive towards are others of the same or similar species, but they do fine with anything else, as long as it doesn't fit in their mouth.

That's the name that was used at the lfs.. so lets say it's a Black Spotted, is that much different from a TT???

Also I think that he's settled in more.. he is not swimming around like at first.. but stays mostly in his spot.. under the rocks or his little cave...

and he will only eat Ghost Shrimp nothing else so far, really I've only tryed fresh shrimp and he ate that the first time I fed it to him . .. but now he won't even look at it... I guess he's just picky...

and he doesn't show any agression at all so far...

Thanks again for the info..
