No infact its smaller.

Mean Diameter of moon is 3500 km roughly.

The diameter of Eris has been measured to be 2400 km using images from the Hubble Space Telescope.

So you can see that "the dwarf planet Eris is smaller than Earth's moon".

No, it is smaller. The Moon has a radius of about 1,700 km and Eris only about 1,200 km.
