I am flirting with the idea of having a second Moray help feed the softy reef 180g (150 footprint [18.5in w] d/t built in wet dry space on back). My 14inch Snowflake at the moment does not show interest in Hermits, Snails, & Conchs; however, he is well fed with squid/octopus bi-weekly and is definitely not a mature Moray yet. I was considering adding another Moray. I will either go the route of an invert heavy CuC or adding two Tangs & a Foxface (or simply just a few Tangs). I am limited on Tang size to medium Zebrasomas, white-tail BT, maybe a smaller/medium Acanthurus in a tank this size.
The Eel I am considering would either be a Banana, Skeletor, or Zebra. I am not really wanting a Golden Dwarf in a tank this size and kind of worried that the snowflake would bully it. I would really like a Banana Eel. It would be the closest thing to a Tessalata...haha but much smaller and less aggressive. If the Tangs would be toast though, might go to the other options or consider strictly inverts. With that in mind, what Eel do you think would have less potential to decimate snails/hermit/cuc? One thing is Herimits and snails are fairly easy to replace. I am open to suggestions, and I know this idea is a little unorthodox. @lion king shameless plug for some good Moray info
