Well, according to LiveAquaria they are peaceful and reef safe with caution, which is pretty much the same as everything else I've put in my tank. So far I haven't observed him trying to eat any of my fish. He scavenges and picks stuff out of crevasses, frags, corals, etc. I do realize that he does have the potential to eat my fish but I find it hard to believe that he will since his pinches are pretty small. He doesn't have large pinchers like typical red lobsters have. Heck, I have a couple of acro crabs that have much larger pinchers than he does, and they are 1/8 his size.
And yes Wayne, I'm hopping to fatten him up! He has molted once every couple of weeks for as long as I've had him now. Summer BBQ season is almost here!
