Snowflake eel with a Undulated Trigger

[RobD23]

I have a 4 inch undulated trigger...mean little bugger but he allows my hawaiian toby puffer, flame hawkfish and blue devil damsel to live. So now I want to introduce a Snowflake eel, about what size do you think I should get...keep in mind i don't want the eel to eat my other fish but i don't want my undulated to smoke the eel either.

what are the sizes of the other fish?

Provided ample rock work the eel should be OK. Undulated's are very aggro. but if he has tolerated the hawk, he might be mellow enough to try an eel. The only problem w/ the eel is if his tail is hanging out from under a rock, it just might look to tempting for the trigger not to investigate.

Ya good points....I got the eel, he tried to be a big tough guy in the beginning but quickly learned his lesson...I'm feeding him from a metal rod, he seems to always be hungry. The Undulated constantly is looking for eel pieces to bite but the eel is smart and has his entire body in the rocks. Snowflake eels aren't good enough hunter to catch damsels or hawkfish in my opinion so i think i'm ok.
