Golden Dwarf Moray

Does any one have one of these in a reef?

I have read that they only grow to 10 to 12 inches. How small of fish could you keep with one of these?
Any actual experence would be great.
Thanks.

I was at a club meeting and looked in a 400 gallon tank and saw a yellow dwarf morey. this one I had seen two or three years earlier in a 100 gallon cube with small fish. It had been living with small fish for years I every time I asked there were no problems. the owner says he feeds frozen cubes of formula 1 and it takes them easily. It is funny to watch this fish look at the fish as they swim by. there are two different types of small yellow eels that are sold though.

I had one and it did pretty good, but was blind as a bat. It never bothered any fish unless he got confused (fish would go after the shrimp I was trying to feed the eel and the eel didn't know which one to bite at).

I have the eel that is shown on justrarefish.com and is called a yellow banana eel. It is a great eel, but don't let anyone tell you this is a dwarf eel. Mine is 3 years old and already 2 feet long. He looks identical to the pic on the website.
