Depends on what you qualify as reef safe. I used to have one of those pink/purple lobsters that was "reef safe" it didn't harm anything in my tank but small gobies would occasionally go missing and I blamed it on the lobster.

Knew of a girl in Edmonton... her lobster was the only thing in the tank...

I have a pair of reef lobsters in my tank and they are doing fine. Mind you, I don't have any shrimp or small fish in there either.

I used to have the same lobster as Christy most likely. I never saw the thing. My star fish ending eating it.
