I don't know much about SW and I don't keep any SW, but don't snowflake eels get to around 3 feet long?

| 29 gallon is a bit small for a snowflake, they really need atleast 50 gallons. They are semi-reef compatible as in it has to be too big to eat, and inverts such a shrimp and crabs and snails have a good chance of becoming dinner, but they wont generally bother corals.

i agree. its only a 2 foot eel but, still, it wont be able to move much in a 29. it should be in at least a 50. plus, snowflakes are notorious for eating inverts like crabs, shrimp, etc. so you wont have much of a clean up crew in the 29.

although it is small some people are successful at keeping eel's in smaller tank's but I personally don't recommend it. They are reef with caution due to there love of motile invert's so I would say see if you can sell it or trade it for a coral frag or some store credit at your LFS.
