depends what you mean,

corals would probably be fine

but shrimp, crabs, and snails, would be lunch

SF,
True, they will eat cleaner shrimp, but not coral banded, and hermits, but not Mithrax crabs, and smaller astreas, but not mexican snails. I have never seen mine touch and of my corals, but hey there is always the chance. HTH. Good luck.
