They are reef safe and will not harm your corals, but if they are starving, who knows what type of low sensile critters it will find.
Am I right do I win?

not sure if u win but i have wittnessed both of mine in 2 sep tanks on top of my corals

 

[thomas712]

Did they nibble or just sort of clean them?

 

[almarktool]

lookslike they went to town if u ask me

Never had that problem with mine, but he did try to escape the tank into the open air, that was the end of him, didn't take him long to get all ugly as he started to melt.

They are not considered to be coralivores, assuming you have a blue Linckia. However, they may very well be attracted to dying tissue. Some hobbyists have reported them being attracted to dead fish in the tank.
