I have long wanted to keep a cleaner shrimp with my eel as well. I actually asked the same question a while ago in a thread but was told that it would most likely get eaten. I've only ever put a hermit with the eel before and just for a few minutes. The eel became very interested in the crab and the crab was very interested in one of my snails... so I removed it before the slaughter could start.

Sometimes the eel comes out at night and snakes around through the tank but not very often. Hes more likely to come out every second day around feeding time if I dont feed him fast enough. But usually he just pokes his head out from one of four spots.
