no SPS experience yet (so tagging along) but heard can go after LPS

Not sure about others, but mine has been completely reef safe. Only eats aiptasia and fish food (mysis, pellets, nori sheets).

No sps.. But my two ate all the Aptasia, now they pick on my leathers, the candycanes, the frogspawn, and the dendros.

I've had 5. 4 were fine, one nipped every coral in the tank. However, I found them easy to catch, so removing isn't too bad. Usually :)

I've had them and never had them no sps but acans were another story

ive had quite a few, never had any problems with them and sps, just zoas, from my experience they all eat zoas

ive also heard alot about them eating acans but never see it happen with my own eyes

A good friend of mine had one in his SPS dominated tank for well over a year with no incidents. Ate aiptasia and fish food as others have already mentioned.

Just added one to my SPS reef last week. So far no problems but I also haven't seen him eat any aiptasia as of yet either...

They have to be one of the coolest fish you can and to your reef tank. Mine never ate sps or aiptasia but loved my zoa so he had to go . But like brad said they almost swim into the net.
