Every snowflake moray I have ever has been extremely gentle, on the flipside, every snowflake moray I have ever had has escaped my tank and taken "the long walk" around my aquarium. Keep EVERY portion of your aquarium covered! I cannot stress that enough. Moray's are messy eaters, as you will have to be careful about overfeeding. You want to keep him small, and you want to minimize how much food he slings around... as that excess food will cause nitrates and ammonia to rise unless you're careful. To check this problem, simply do more water changes more often. Your cute litte invertebrates are on the menu of the moray eel... so dont be surprised if one of your $50 dollar shrimp turns up "missing". Anything that is slow enough, small enough, and gets close enough to that moray will probably be eaten. They have extremely poor eyesite, so most shrimp would be okay, or have tough enough shells. The eel will get big, too big for a reef, and odds are you'll have to do something about this, else you will have the proverbial "bull in the china shop" syndrome.
