Can someone identify this fish?

I say these fish that had almost the exact same color and markings as a clown fish, but the were shaped like a small eel (about 1 - 1 1/2" long). Anyone know what they might be and are the reef safe?

Orange and white or black and white? Marine catfish and engineer gobies are black and white/yellow and eel-like, but I wouldn't really say the colouring reminds me of clownfish as such.

If I remember right they were orange and white. They were at Big Al's. Very cool looking!

Eel-like makes me think possibly a blenny of some kind?? I had a green wolf eel blenny.

or check out coris fromosa for less eel-like
