Snowflake eels and anemones

[Tye]

Hey guys, has anyone ever kept an anemone with a snowflake eel, I’m not sure if it’s possible without the eel getting stung.

Is it possible?

Definitely been done before. Eels have very thick slime coatings, but I don't have enough expirience to say for sure.

Yes I have my snowflake in my tank with an anemone, they’re really shy in my opinion of having some in the past and now and they’re beautiful, won’t hit your anemone at all..

It makes sense... but to me it will always feel a little messed up yk?

Like if someone just hooked up an achilles tang and threw it in the water... it would make me sad.

... im pretty sure achilles tangs are also used for food in other countries and maybe hawaii

ive got several anemones in my snowflakes eel tank and have never had an issue. I think it might have to do with his skin or something. Ive seen hem brush against them and he doesnt seem to notice at all.

I think it would be the same thing as you accidentally falling into a wood chipper.

If you've tried to grab an eel that got out, you'd feel the super slime.
