Green Emeralds are touch and go, I can honesty say we removed 2 out of our display tank because they were attacking the Nems in to.

Think it is certain species though

I have 3 red emeralds in my SPS tank, and all my SPS are doing great. They have been in there for at least 3 months now. And I have a green emerald that I have had for ages as well, I did have a green one that ate my zoa's though, now living in my sump as the GF wouldn't let me put it outside last winter when I saw it eating my AOG zoas.
Like everything in the hobby, something being reef safe is a guideline, not a rule.
