theoretically speaking

Does anyone see any issues with sticking a Snowflake Eel, a Maroon Clown, and one of the Canthigaster Puffers in a tank together?

Currently I have the eel (7-8") and a bigger damsel. As far as I can tell the eel really has no interest in the fish except when I put some food in the tank, and it mistakes the fish for the food. I'm not sure if the eels behavior changes at night or not.

The problems I see mainly deal wth the puffer, but I'm really not sure.
Would the puffer get super territorial and try and take a bite out of the eel, or would it always be in its gigantic form because its scarred of the eel?
Also what kinds of corals will puffers not eat?
Is there a less aggressive Canthigaster?
If I do this should I put the puffer in last to minimize teritory issues or does that matter?

Thanks

Can't help you much on the eel/puffer question however; depending on what size tank you are "theoretically" talking about makes a big difference.

Don't discount the maroon clown. I had one in my 90 gal that was a TERROR once it got bigger.

I think these fish should be fine together. Puffers aren't safe with any coral.
