I have it with a host of different corals including Zoas, several LPS, a sunset monti, etc. It only comes out at night and I only see it munching on the patch of blue polyps. The thing is that it eats SLOOOWWWWWWWWW. It would be a simple matter of catching and removing it should it become a nuisance. The nice thing about slugs is that they tend to focus on a VERY narrow selection of dietary prey species (think monti eating nudies or aiptasia eating berghia) which allows us to employ them for very specific tasks.
