I believe garden eels are better suited to tanks with calmer residents than clowns, tangs and sixlines (which might ignore then or may murder without remorse). Good tanks would be ones with NPS corals that get frequent planktonic foods. Some like to combine them with seahorse tanks (lower temp) or calmer wrasse tanks that get fed often.
