    reef lobsters and even cbs are reef safe if your lucky.
    you can take the lobster out of the reef, but you cant take the reef out of the lobster if he eats it lol

    my cbs was a mean sob chasing around my cleanershrimp, until it eventually killed it.

    buy the way dont pull away if it pinches you, you will pull of its arm

    ive had a cbs for 2 years now and its been fine if a fish comes to close while its eating he throws his arms up and spooks the fish but never seem him intentionally hunt anything. he just sits under the rock work and catches food as im feeding.

    Mine does the exact same thing as well..Sometimes my coral beauty will scoot itself into the CBS's cave and get a quick cleaning. They like to hang out together as well under an overhang.. I have not seem him nip at any of the few softies I have in the tank either. I just make sure when I feed, to throw a bit his way as well in hopes of dissuading him from picking.

    the fireshrimp I just added seems to be okay as well, haven't noticed any aggression there either.

    So far so good.. He's a great looking addition, overall I'm glad I got him..
