When I started out with salt water I was into eels before reef then it sort of evolved into reef over time. Two problems with an eel in a reef tank are waste and destruction. The waste from the eel can be compensated for with a huge skimmer. The real problem is they are very strong and create havoc on your live rock and corals; they knock every thing down swimming through the rock work. Smaller eels like a miniature golden eel, etc. can work in a reef but are still better in their own set up.
I now have a separate eel, predator tank they are very cool fish IMO. So ya some one should buy that eel it's a good price!
