Morays are Morays one day they are greart the next they can turn I know witfull has had on in his reef for a while & I know others that have had them & a tank full of fish when they went to bed & woke up with a fat eel & no fish

Here is a little video of feeding time in our predator tank. This is a smallish 16" snowflake eel. Those are good sized triggers he is chasing around. Clowns and other smaller fish wouldn't stand a chance.

I wouldn't consider even putting one of these smaller morays in a reef tank.

lol! crazy eel, I dont trust Snowflakes with peaceful fish, but I want to know about the Zebra more though.
Cool tank btw, what size is it?

Every fish/eel is an individual with an individual personality. If you really want one, get one. You might be fortunate enough to get one that leaves all your other fish alone. But also don't be surprised to wake up one morning to a tank void of fish, except for the eel.

I saw pictures of a snowflake, which btw is basically the same as a zebra, eat a large foxface. The poster caught the tail end of the foxface going into the snowflakes mouth.
