    Will a snowflake eel eat my cleaner shrimp or any of my hermit crabs?

    not necessarily. We maintain several reef systems with snowflakes in them, several where the eels and cleaner shrimps live together in the same borrows.

    Its always a good idea to side with caution but it is doable. They all have their own personalities, some will go after inverts, and others dont care. It is risky
