If I feel that the eel cannot be isolated from the substrate using light, then I will isolate it using a shallow depth of field.

If the eel is in its den, sometimes you can get the light from your strobe to just touch its face so the rest of the den remains dark. This can be effective to varying degrees. Another option is to use a single strobe and light the eel from the side. However, it can be very difficult to find an eel in a position to take this photo.
