opinions needed

I am new to this board, but have been reading it for a few weeks. I might have a problem. I have a 90 gal set up with live rock and a few damsels. I went out and bought a one month old banded catshark and 1.5" panther grouper. They are fine, but I also went to another pet store and bought a couple of eels to go in with the live rock. Babies eels they are, just around 8" or so. One was sold to me as a zebra eel and when I looked at it in the tank it looked simuliar to one but wasnt sure. When I got it home and took a good look at it, it appears to look just like a tessy. I am pretty sure it is one. He acts obnoxious at feeding time, but is very nice looking. My concern is should I remove him now and sell him or let him grow abit then make my mind up. I will be setting up another tank for the shark, probably around 180- 300 gal. Also, why does SWF have that this eel only gets to 24" when I read around 60" is more reasonable. What roads would everyone out there take on the eel situation? All opinions wanted on this one.
Thanks

i would get rid of it. small eels are easy to sell large are not. on swf.com 24'' means that is around the size you will get when you order one.
