Snowflake eel and a flame angel

I currently have a 150G tank with a foxface, blue tang, dwarf lion, and just added to the main tank a flame angel. I want to get a snowflake eel too. I bought some egg crate for the top of my tank that will soon be added as I know eels are escape artists. I realized that my flame angel is only about 1.5 inches long. He is fine with the current tankmates but I'm concerned about adding a snowflake eel to the mix until he gets bigger. Would it be OK to get one now or should I wait until the angel is a little bigger?
Any help or advice would be appreciated.

The angel should be fine. We have two snowflakes that are about 18 inches with a few damsels and a clown that are about 1.5 inches and they don't touch them. I keep them well fed also. Make sure that you cover every possible spot with the egg crate even the little holes that you don't think they can get out of.

Thats good to know because I really like the little guy. Goes in and gets his share of food even from the foxface who is about 5.5 inches and the tang who is about 3 inches.
