Hi guys!!I would like to know if any eel would be possible in 82 gal reef?would it eat small peacefull fish?

i had a snowflake for a few years and he just ate the snails.funny to watch he would stick his head in the shell and squirm all over till he sucked them out.
no problem with the fish.

Snowflake eel: Reef compatable:yes Invert compatable:no No to small fish
Dwarf Golden eel: Reef compatable:yes Invert compatable:with caution No fish less then 3 inch ***note*** very expensive
MORAYS ARE A BIG NO
Green wolf eels are also ok but will outgrow

I have a chestnut viper moray eel in my 125g reef and he doesn't bother any of my fish.

Ya but their all different in the way they act. You would be gambling letting inverts and small fish live with it then wamo it gets hungry and no more tank mate. I suppose it be possible if u feed it consistently and never missed a day
