Banded Moray Eel (echidna polyzona) Any experiences in a reef?

So in further trying to diversify my livestock I'm pondering the possibility of adding a reef safe eel to my 275 gallon 8 footer. In my couple of weeks of research I've concluded that the Banded Moray will be the guy to hide within the crevices of my rock work. I really like the Zebra Moray's sharp patterns but from what I've gathered they get bigger and therefore messier eaters (and poopers). I'd rather go smaller in the long term. I'm not really into the Snowflake eels appearance.





So. . .anyone with banded moray eel experience out there? I'm about ready to get one of these bad boys http://www.thatpetplace.com/Echidna-polyzona-banded-moray-eel-217813
 
When I ran a store, i found them to be pretty aggressive eating small fish and even anthias. I had a white ghost eel in my old 95g tank and never had a problem with it as its mouth is pretty small. but again anything it can fit in its mouth is possible food.

Really? I've searched around for forums online and saw no mention of them being "aggressive and eating fish"

You sure it wasn't the banded eel snake? Similar name.
