Anderillium Moray Eel Green
This ink is great. It’s a murky, yellowish green that is based on the color of the Moray Eel. These critters are one of the stars of any video about a reef, and they are a favorite in the Inkdependence household. Anderillium makes a really nice ink, and I’ve had this ink in this same Franklin-Christoph Model 50 for over a year at this point. I was going to just finish this review and then clean the pen but, instead, I’ve just refilled it again. No regrets. Fully recommend this one.
Find yours from Anderillium or lots of other ink vendors.

It looks great on this Nebula Casual Note paper, with nice shading and just a bit of sheen in some places. The sheen is rare, though, so don’t count on seeing it most of the time.
There’s no real water resistance, but you might be able to recover what you wrote if you spilled some water on it.
There is some bleed-through on this paper, but that’s to be expected. This is the paper that ends up in your office copier because it’s cheap and fine with laser printing, but it doesn’t usually get along with liquid ink. Still, not bad for using a big BB nib on this paper!
I’m afraid that the yellowish notes in the ink have made this image look a bit too yellow. Midori MD isn’t perfectly white, but it’s closer to white than it might look here.
This is Moray Eel on old-school Tomoe River paper. Beautiful.
Here are some inks that are in the same color-space as Moray Eel. I don’t think any are perfect matches, but there are a few that are sort of close. That Krishna Mint might be the closest, but that ink is one I’d avoid. That swatch never dried, and I eventually just put tape over it and called it a day.
