Clean-up-crew with a Snowflake Eel?

Onedeadbob · 01/05/2011, 02:22 PM

Setting up a 75g tank for my girlfriend. It will contain mostly LPS and zoa's. She really wants me to get a snowflake eel for her.

I am wondering what I can use as a c.u.c. that the eel won't bother? Shrimp, snails, hermit crabs, are any of them safe with an eel in the tank?

Thanks!

I have kept hermit crabs with my snowflake and currently do. The only concern would be the shrimp. The snails should be okay. Keeping well fed should keep its stomach happy and away from your other critters.
