Default zebra eel and fish question please help

Ok I have done some reading on the internet and what I have gotten are that zebra moryal eels are the best eels for housing with fish as they don't tend to eat them? is this true? Are they more likely to not attack my fish? I have right now a majestic angel about 3'' a blue tang of 4'' a singapore angel 3'' a yellow tail damsel 2 clown fish? will it be ok with these the one I am looking at is a small zebra and eating frozen food. I haven't picked him up yet as I wanted to know some opinions from other ppl that have experience or know of this eel. I would like to get him tomorrow if I get enough responds.

I heard/read that they don't eat them, unless there starving so keep them well fed!

zebra eels eat crabs/shrimp not so much with the fish but id still be a bit scared to put small fish in with one
