BAM!2 off my "I would beat up Carrot Top for" list
I just picked up a melatremus moray and four vanderbilt chromis! Yay me!
  Anyway, I have them in my sump right now. Put them in there to give me easy access to feeding away from a competitive main tank environment. Both are eating! Hopefully, these things go as long term as my clowns (cause it's either that, or I'm short a fair bit o' change)!

From my research, no, they are considered ideal reef candidates in terms of both compatibility and ease of maintanance.
They have conical teeth and dietary analysis (according to Scott Micheals) consist of small crustaceans. I did a lot of searching on RC and found people had very mixed experiences with them and really small fish like firefish and neon gobies. Some individuals got along fine with tiny fish while others quickly turned themselves into unplanned expenses. I suspect size was a big factor, maybe even sex (snowflake eels apparently have slightly different tooth structures amongst the different ages and sexes, who knows?). I got my eel eating within an hour of introduction using a feeding stick and a piece of shrimp. I'll update as the week goes on.

What is the price and item (locality)? How much have you seen the eel go for? They packed it retarded for us this shipment. 7" Sharpie diameter eel in a MONSTER HUGE QUARTER BOX BAG!!! That did a lot to the cost.

What is a 7" Sharpie diameter eel
 I would calculate a 7" diameter eel should be about six feet long.
