Go down to your near by hardware store and buy him a few pcs of 1 1/2" ID PVC cut them and lay them in your tank then cover with rocks all but the openings he will love them seemy video below you can cover the tubes and not even know that they are there.

i make rock caves in my tank but my yellow tail eel just hides in the sand and my striped peacock eel is always out and moving
PVC tubes/driftwood... rocks work okay but be careful to make sure they are settled well.. make sure they are on the bottom glass.. not just stacked on-top of the gravel... the bigger the eel the more likely they are to cause a rock pile to crash over. Even the smaller ones are alot stronger then they appear to be.
Yea I don't want to do rocks. I have a stingray and more to come so I don't need possible injuries. And I tried PVC. I couldn't keep up with algea growing on it.
