I had one in a tank with only a cuc, was about 12" long. It would come out when I fed it, I cut its food into approx 1 cm cubes, sometimes bigger and it would take a couple of chomps to eat. It also wouldn't eat everyday, so I think if you kept appropriately sized fish and kept the eel fed, it likely would leave your fish alone. Also, eggcrate holes would likely be big enough for a 6" eel to get through, you would need screen instead.
I liked my eel but just sold him. The fellow who now has him (fishyfishy) has him with other fish.
