    it's going to be hard for the dwarf to find something in your tank small enough to eat unless you have something like sexy shrimp

    reef safe yes... fish safe... no

    they sit around waiting on anything that can fit in it's mouth to swim by and then pounce on it, they dont swim around or really do anything interesting that I know of besides eat. half the time their impossible to find cause they hide so well

    My lfs has garden eels in their reefs. Never a problem...some of the sites claim they should be added with caution but from talking to others about their experience with them seem to be pretty cool in a reef. I should of snapped a pic of em to post on here.

    Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Garden Eel

    Seems to be about as reef safe as a flame hawk or lion fish if not less. Btw, my lfs has no lids on their tank with them in it so i dunno if not having one would be a big worry.
