Red Lobster - reef safe?

[hockeyplyr]

I introduced a red lobseter about a week ago to take . Hes very cool and doing well. Not for nothing its also the most ill tempered little

Ive ever seen. Im in the middle of going reef changing subtrate soon and in a few months LR. What I need to know is there anyone out there with this lobster in a reef system. will it eat corals and such. also Will it do anything to LR.
I realy dig this thing so I will only get rid of it if it starts taring up the tank. right now its no problem.

From everything I've heard they seem to be considered reef safe....but they tend to hide a lot and are rarely seen...plus they can be sort of like a bull in a china shop(knock things around and stuff)
Personally I would avoid having one in anything less than maybe a 200+ gal system. But that is just my opinion....there are several folks that seem to keep them successfully in much smaller systems.
