I agree with Greg. I can't believe so many people are saying it is ok for the fish you listed & with you not having seahorses. In my 60 gal. cube I have 6 adult erectus, a pair of neon gobies, & a breeding pair of mandarins. And even with all of that I do a 20 gal wc every week.

I don't think anyone did. If your referring to my post about the Angelfish I was referring to his new stocking list without the seahorses. And I stand by my experience that firefish do great with seahorses as long as you QT.

The firefish would be good. It's the clownfish, tanks, & eel.

My new list of fish is,one snowflake eel,one firefish gobby, two ocellaris clownfish, one yellow tang,one Blue/Green reef chormis and a star fish. any comments

The snowflake eel will probably get at least two feet long and will devour you smaller fish like the goby for sure, and maybe the clowns and chromis.
They are a "dirty" feeding fish so bioload is high and then with all those other fish contributing, (if they survive) you will need a good husbandry protocol to be successful.

Can someone tell me how to care for snowflake eels?
