So heres the rundown: I have a snowflake eel that is pretty dumb, quite frankly the dumbest and farthest from an eel I think an eel can be. Hes in my 75G long with a pair of maroon's and a dwarf angelfish. There are ALOT of CuC in the tank and he hasnt put a significant dent in anything along those lines as far as I can tell. I also have a Coral Banded Shrimp which I believe to be a female; thusfar the only interaction between the two is the shrimp sticking her arms out in aggression and then cleaning his body as he slithers by, now at this point the eel has definatly took note of the shrimp cleaning him and yet with shrimp being his only diet other than squid he has yet to bother him whatsoever. Krill, squid, and on occasion I can get him to eat PE mysis and since he was a juvenile I have raised him on these + selcon. I had a while back a Diamond watchman and he did fine for a while prior to my crushed coral causing a mouth laceration turned infection. My question though is if I were to get a yellow watchman + pistol shrimp pair do you think the eel would bother him? and also do Wrasses tend to bother pistol shrimp?
 
The wrasse needs sand, he will hurt himself on crushed coral when he buries himself at night. Sand is the best for any gobies or burrowing animals.:)
 
^ I was told this but had no problems with a wrasse in this tank for 6 months +, they only thing that ended that short was the introduction of another wrasse.
