I don't know about reef safe. Most eels will knock over rocks and eat small fish and inverts. They are best kept in FOWLR's with large fish.

Why not look at an engineer goby, when they get big they look just like an eel and they are very peaceful. I have a 12-16" one in my tank and it's very cool!

yep engineer goby would be the best bet, but if you "need" to have and eel, garden eels are cool. they need a deep sand bed though and the deeper the better, but at least 4 inches, 6 would be better. garden eels live in the sand bed and when they go into the sand bed, they go in butt first.....
its really cool to watch.....
