Fuzzy Dwarf Lion's and a Snowflake Eel....

I recently upgraded my custom 38gal tank to a 75
and now I'm thinking of turning the 38 into a "Semi Agressive" tank
I have the oppertunity to pick up (3) Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish 1.5-2" long
and a 5" Snowflake Moray Eel
would this be a good combo for this tank?
from what I;ve read so far....
I'm thinking I'd be able to keep the Eel for a year or two, depending on how fast he grows.
and it seems that the Fuzzy Dwarf Lion's are fairly "reef safe"
I may throw one of them into my main tank
(currently: 3" Blue hippo tang, Pair of GSM clowns, gbta, and a 3" Midas blenny, and some softie corals)

I think that you would be fine with two dwarfs and a snowflake as long as your filtration is pretty good and you have live rock. Just keep in mind that the snowflake will get too big for that tank sooner or later.

I've got a fuzzy dwarf and a snowflake in a 150G together and they do just fine. The eel has his ship and cave and the lion has his rock and heater. The other 3 fish usually share space with them at one time or another.

You can keep a SFE in a 38. The three lions will be a problem together though, as they mature.

well,
after doing some reading,
the Eel and 2 of the fuzzy dwarf lions (1.5-2" long each)
will go into the 38g tank
one of the fuzzy dwarf's will go into my main tank
I believe:
it will be a while before he's big enough to cause trouble

back on topic,
I'm picking up the new guys this weekend
one fuzzy dwarf is going in my main tank (75gal reef)
the other two and the eel are going into my roomate's tank (my old 38)
I hope to have pics next week
