![]() I've seen pictures of it being done in the wild in National Geographic where a shrimp was cleaning out the mouth of a green moray but I'm guessing that my snowflake would make a quick lunch out of a cleaner shrimp. Has anyone tried putting a cleaner shrimp with an eel and been successful?

![]() snowflakes are specialized crustacean predators. so yes it is likely that the cleaner will be a snack and yes it happens. some people have had success by allowing the cleaner shrimp(s) to get well established in the tank before introducing a snowflake though.

![]() I bought a snowflake eel a few years back and loved him, would come out for hand feeding, would wrap around my hand and arm, very friendly and very nice to see when he was cruising the tank glass. He did however eat both my 2 cleaner shrimp in the first two hours of being introduced to my tank. He did not bother any other tank mates but make sure your rock is stable.

![]() I've had mine for over 4 years and I've never tried putting any shrimp with him. However after seeing some pictures I thought it might be possible but I guess they behave a little bit different in nature.
