Probably the Poly section
Are there any corals I could have with a smaller snowflake eel In a 125? I'm not worried about any other inhabitants with them, It's just the eel squirming through them. I was thinking maybe mushrooms and LPS also maybe frogspawn. Any thoughts?

Eels are "reef safe" in the sence of they wont eat your coral, your risk is more knocking the corals over. So as long as your parameters are good for corals, and you secure them well to your rocks, you have nothing to worry about. Though its a good idea to make lots of caves in the rocks so he doesnt try to make one by moving your corals/rocks.

Only concern would be the eel knocking corals off the rock. Other than that, you should be fine.
 
+1 to everyone's thoughts.

Im back working on my original project - really hardy corals in with lots of big predator fish.

Its a fun combination that is often overlooked.

They're fine with corals, but because most people keep inverts in their reef tanks, I don't think it would be a good idea, as eels love to eat invertebrates

You don't have to keep inverts with corals though.
