I am soon gonna be getting a 150 gallon tank 60x24x24

Current fish I am gonna be adding:

Blue line grouper(6-7 inches)
Fine spotted moray(18-20 inches)

and maybe a bunch of crabs as cleaner crew which I found on the beach Lol

I wanted to mix in some beautiful butterflies or angel's or literally just any fish which can withstand against the eel and grouper, the eel doesn't eat anything bigger than 3 inches, the grouper i am just worried incase he picks or bites any other fish

The eel is only temporary since he grows quite big and I would consider him as a mild fangtooth
 
Groupers don't pick or bite at things, in my experience. Butterflies and angels work well with the smaller groupers. I don't know about that specific eel. Is it a fang tooth?

Yes.

He doesn't really go for live fish nor does he seem interested, the chances of him even considering about it is when it's feeding time

As for the grouper i would say he is on the smaller side since they rarely grow over 10 inches and it's mainly in bigger tanks that they do
 
My two eels are in with fish like that no issues. Ivar my jeweled did eat a cleaner wrasse but thats it
