The **Tessalata Eel** is renowned for its captivating appearance among moray eels. These eels feature a lengthy, light-hued body adorned with intricate black honeycomb patterns.

**Tessalata Moray Eels** can grow beyond 70 inches and require a minimum tank size of 180 gallons. They thrive in environments with abundant live rock to create hiding spots and caves. Without such shelters, their health can deteriorate. Known for their escape skills, these eels need a securely covered tank to prevent them from slipping through small openings. Ensure your tank is escape-proof before introducing a **Tessalata Eel**.

While they can coexist in reef tanks, **Tessalata Eels** may consume smaller fish and invertebrates and can dislodge corals with their large bodies. Their sharp teeth pose a risk of severe bites, so exercise caution when handling them. Due to poor eyesight, they might mistake your hand for food.

As carnivores, **Tessalata Eels** require a diet rich in meaty foods like silversides and fresh or frozen seafood chunks. Feeding tongs are recommended for safe feeding.
