Does anyone have an eel in the tank with inverts?

How is yours doing?

Just for info: I have a Niger Trigger that was fine with my shrimp (forgot what it was... pos peppermint) because the shrimp was first... He actually let the shrimp occasionally clean him off. Now when I added my LR he even tried to eat a dead crab that dropped in as well as some stringy red substance which almost looked like a tangled jellyfish. Regardless he isn't really into newcomers. I will probably have to get rid of him when I get more inverts because he really isn't having it. Sucks because he was the second fish I got and he has lots of personality in my opinion.

I want to add inverts in my tank. but still don't have the money yet.

I am not sure I understand... according to your profile you have many... is this just a hopeful list?

the shrimp, I have in my refugium and I would like to add some in the display, will that be possible. all other are in my tank and doing well.

An eel would probably eat the shrimp.And if it didnt, the triggers would eat the inverts.

My trigger doesn't eat inverts.... I know most do but I have had shrimp, crabs, and snails and he is interested in them for about 2 min the first time they are introduced and leaves them alone after that.
