Dear Dr. Marini,
I just browsed through your article on reefsafe moray eels. It was very interesting and very insightful, however I am concerned about the minimum tank size you listed. You recommened that a 40 gallon tank is acceptable for a fish that gets up to 3 feet in length? I know that some morays are very sedentary, but I've witnessed snowflakes who swam around a lot. Plus, I've read other sources that say 100g is the miminum. I would just like some clarification because it seems that ReefCentral is a big stiffler for proper size tanks for certain fish. Thank you.
