I've had luck with 2 snowflakes in my reef
I would agree as they mature. Both of mine are on the smaller side (8" or so) so I currently don't have that problem... as they grow they might need to go back to the lfs if they become a problemSnowflake eels can get like 2' long.. I would think a 20g tall would lead to aggression and damage to his beak/nose. Plus what kind of filtration do you have on it? They need pretty substantial feedings compared to normal small to medium reef/sw fish which leads to a lot more waste.. Maybe a 20gal tall with a 50gal sump and he's the only occupant.
I have a buddy with one in his 75g reef tank and it is all over the place.. When he feeds the tank its constantly bashing off the tank walls and knocking stuff over. He has to feed it first large pieces of shrimp/fish and then feed the tank and constantly keep him in check so he doesn't try to attack the other fish that he can't really even eat. It Def needs more space than he has and that's a 75g. Maybe his is an oddball but I'd say no personally.
