I plan to buy a 75-gallon tank and put my two clownfish and yellowtail blue damsel in it, also down the road, a flame hawkfish and coral beauty. I've wanted an eel for a long time, but the ones I've gotten interested in have either needed a bigger tank, could eat my fish, or are too pricey. Does anyone know of an eel that will be safe with these fish in a tank of this size?

Personally I wouldn’t try a true eel with that mix. At least for morays, any of your small fish are at risk. Snowflake could work but will be at risk with the clowns.
Look into Midas blenny or convict blenny (actually a cousin to cichlids). Neither are eels, but have a very eel like look and similar behaviors, especially the convict blenny.
