Today I woke up at 4 AM unable to fall back asleep. I decided at around 5 I could do an early morning feeding for my FW fish. At 7 I turned on the brackish tank and noticed that my dragon goby was where the moray eel normally is.
I looked around and didn't see the eel. I never eel proofed my tank so I looked behind the buffet table that the tank is on and saw nothing. I see under another table a few feet away the moray eel coiled up on a CD.
He looked dead, but he was still slimy so I poked him and he gasped!
I quickly threw him in the brackish tank and he suddenly spazzed out and hid in his cave.
He is poking his head out and doing that moray eel thing but still breathing heavily and has bits of stuff from the carpet on him. I am going to wait until he calms down to take it off.
The odd part is, he could have not got out of the filter cut out in the back and got through the junk behind the buffet table, so he must have pushed up the front lid and got out. Either way, today I am going to get some screening and eel proof the back of the tank as well as get some rocks for the lid at night.
