I have not had a garden eel but I have kept other small eels with corals, they are reef safe as in not eating corals but they will eat inverts such as hermits, shrimp, starfish, or crabs though

They can be kept alive a long time fed with encriched Brine and Mysid.

With that said, I think that DSB's are ugly as all get out (JMO). Garden eels need even more sand once they hit adult size. They are best kept in a species tank IMO.
