I am looking into adding it to my DT to give a more organic feel since this tank is FOWLR predator tank. Any tips/things to consider? I am not keen on the idea of spending a pretty penny on some only for my inverts to wipe it out so this is a major concern for me only having it so far in my sump.

Hello everyone, My long term goal is to have either a snowflake eel or a zebra eel in my 135 gallon FOWLR tank (Reefer 625). I like that the zebra eel is reef safe compared to the snowflake eel, but I'd also like to see it's head pop out once in a while not just around feeding time. For those...
