snowflake eel uh oh.

Hi, i just bought a snowflake eel. I have a 125 gal reef tank. I"m worried that he might be aggressive. What is the percent chance that he will devour my coral banded shrimp, one fire shrimp, and two cleaner shrimps? i feed him regularly with krill shrimps. he is about 12 inch. any info about SFE vs Shrimps would be helpful. thanks!

I would bet 100% he will eat any shrimp you put in there.
Snowflakes are not reef safe.
good luck,
Jedi

Your eel will think you gave it its own living buffet. Tried a purple reef lobster 1/2 my snowflakes size had her a week and the lobster dissappeared-found a claw though.

I know that a CBS or "coral banded shrimp" will live in the same hole as a snowflake eel since they pic parasites off of it they will live together.
