Please read this article on care & husbandry of Zebra morays
http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2002-12/fm/index.php frank PS- go to the grocery store and buy shell-on gulf shrimp (uncooked), its way better than krill. Also blue crab w/ shell on is excellent as well.

I had one for several years (eventually gave it away). I would feed it every 3 or 4 days. If I went much longer than that it would start roaming around the tank more. Otherwise, it would mostly stay in it's hideout. Mine would eat 2 or 3 whole grocery store shrimp - the ones about the size of my pinky finger. It also liked frozen squid, again from the grocery store.

My zebra moray seems to want to eat far less frequently than the Brazilian dragon moray. The zebra will stick its head out for food maybe twice a week. The BDM will cruise the tank daily, always on the lookout for food.
