Some eels like to burrow. Is there a chance he's buried himself in the substrate.

I had a saltwater aquarium with a snowflake eel in it and one night it had escaped through a small hole in the top that was there for some equipment. I was upstairs and my dog came up and started acting funny. Like he wanted to go out but I had just walked him so I knew he didn't have to go. He had that " Timmy's in the well " desperation thing going so I went downstairs to see what was wrong. There on the carpet next to the aquarium was my eel. He was pretty dried out but still alive. I put him in the tank and he lived for a few more years until I had to give him away when he got too big for the tank.
