Snowflake?

I have a pretty well established FOWLR and was wondering everyone's opinion on adding a snowflake eel to the mix. I have a black clown, filefish pair, tomini tang, lantern toby, and red parrot fairy wrasse currently. From what I hear snowflakes are one of the most easy going eels and usually don't go after any fish but I still worry about my clown and wrasse any opinions? Oh, it is a 56 column and I plan on rehoming the tomini when he gets larger. Just wanted to get some opinions before I jumped to it. I have never kept a saltwater eel before but I do have experience with freshwater eels.
 
IME, SFE's are fine when young, but as they mature, they get nasty and tankmates begin to disappear (they also bite!), so if you like your peaceful tank, I'd forget the eel.
 
I wouldn't put in a 56g unless it was a species tank because when they get big they are kind of destructive.
