Panda Tessalata Eel

There is a Panda Tessalata on DD that I've been looking at for about three weeks now and I'm starting to really want it.

My problem is everything I see about Tessalatas suggest to keep them by themselves.

I've got a 250 with two large volitans, 2 groupers, and 3 large tangs. I'm ok with getting bit by it, however I would like to keep my fish bite free. So I'm thinking this will be a no go but I wanted to ask here first before I bashed my own dreams.

I wouldn't do it because of the lion fish. If the eel take a bit they'll both be dead and the groupers could pick on him.

yea dont do it, the eel will eventually eat all of those fish and probably give you a nasty bite when you service the tank. Dont you wish you could get a nice big tank for just the eel, or even better have a pair of them with some cleaner shrimp. that would be cool

Thanks for the advice! I kind of wish I had my old 150 set up now that I got rid of when I upgrades to the 250. I'm now back to lookig at the zebra morays I guess.
