It depends on what fish you want to get. So give us some more information about what other fish you're looking at. In a tank that big, most fish should grow large enough where a SFE isn't going to eat them.

wat does this eel eat exactly? Will he eat clown fish? I was also thinkin that if i introduce him last into my tank he wouldnt bother my fish as much but then again i could be wrong

another question... r there ne other eels that i could possibly get that r reef safe??
Well technically no eel is "reef safe" by definition since they have a habit of knocking over LR as they get bigger, which is never good for a coral-covered reef, to have its structures continuously toppled.
However, if you're asking about other eels that are FOWLR and "reef fish" safe then yes, many eels if kept properly fed will not go hunting your reef fish.
