Hey,
i have a 45 gallon FOWLR with inverts tank and was just wondering if i could add a snowflake eel. right now i have the following in my 45 gallon tank:
39 pounds lr
2 snails
1 blue leg hermit
1blue linkia
1marble linkia
1flame scallop
2cleaner shrimps
2 percula clowns
1 yellow tang.

im planning on getting 10 more pound lr to make another "cave" in a bout a week.

I wouldn't. I'd ditch the tang too once it passes 2" in length.

Would you want a Grizzly bear in your house???
May not eat you today- but would sure make you nervous.
Eels are predators.

while i was a student (way back when) at the community college, i was an assistant lab tech in the marine lab. we had a snowflake eel in one of the tanks. he shared the tank with a spotted boxfish and a flamehawk. in the 2 years that i helped out in the lab, there were never any problems with the fish and eel. in fact, the eel got to be quite friendly - we had him "trained" to take squid and krill from a pair of tongs we dangled in the water. but this tank had no inverts, no sand, no live rock, and no corals.
