BUT - I kept him in my mixed reef display and the only issues are that they can move stuff, he never knocked over any large colonies, or damaged any coral but managed to move some larger rocks. I put it in the frag tank and he only eats algae...

This one is also the size of a baseball, I read they can eat condi anenomes..

i have 2 small ones still in my 180 with no issues, except they move anything thats not glued down...

Reading about them they tend to be reef safe for the most part. Where did you end up getting them from? I'd be interested in getting 1 but it doesn't look like JL carries them.
