Default Snowflake Eel

Will a snowflake eel be compatible with my current group and any suggestions on what to avoid? Thanks!

YES...however, I would get rid of the Chocolate Chip Sea Star as they aren't "reef safe"! Unless you don't care about your polyps possbly getting eaten!
Other than that, though, your Snowflake will do just fine! Make sure you have a lot of places for it to hide and be comfortable or you could have it jump out of your tank, unless you have a cover!
I had a Snowflake for over a year with no top on my tank and it never jumped out-no stress- it died unfortunately due to my moving...

I'm not even sure what kind of coral it is! It was in the "assorted coral" tank. It is soft, kinda rubbery, and has several "stems" with hairs extending outward like a star. They pull in when it is disturbed.

Best I can tell by pictures is its a type of polyp coral. Also, will the eel be OK with a cleaner shrimp and goby? Thanks again.

The goby will be a meal...probably the cleaner as well, but im not sure about tha latter.

Can you get a pic of your polyps ?

Possibly zooplankton but most polyps do fine without it. They get most of their "food" from photosynthesis and whatever fish food they can catch when you feed your fish.
