Are snowflake eels reef compatible?

[slitherbomb]

Has anyone been able to keep a snowflake eel with corals? I really need to know because I think it would be ok since i don't think an eel would eat coral. Thanks.

They won't eat corals but they'll eat inverts and small fish.

Which inverts? Shrimp?

They aren't reef safe in the sense that you cannot have a clean up crew with them. If you have aggressive skimming and filtration and do often PWC you don't need a clean up crew, but if it's going to be a first time reef I'd 100% avoid one. Just produces a lot of waste and disallows you from having shrimp crabs and snails.

Alright then, no eel. Maybe I'll pick up a 55g at the petco sale and just have him in one by himself lol
