Eels and nems?

I was interested in getting a couple golden dwarf eels but am wondering. Can they be around btas? I planned on doing a clown harem in my tank (obviously meaning there would be anemones) would that be an issue for a couple-few dwarfs?

??? Melatremus eels won't go after clowns.

Provide plenty of cave structure and they will be fine.

Some eels are specialized fish eaters, others are specialized invert eaters, others are more versatile in their diet. Melatremus eels eat both, but stay small enough to not be a threat to clowns.
