i have never heard of a clown eating lps.... or a damsel bothering corals. you are right about crabs though, most will find alternative (coral) food sources if hungry, other than filter feeders like porcelains (although i did catch my porcelain pulling up and eating algae once). peppermints,sexy,anemone,cleaners,fire shrimp, all reef safe. diamond gobies wont bother your coral at all, though they may partially bury things on the sandbed.

and chill out man, you just posted yesterday. no need for 2 bumps in a 14 hour period lol

COMMON SEA URCHIN Strongylocentrolus purpuratus

ANEMONE SHRIMP Periclimenes brevicarpalis
ORANGE SKUNK SHRIMP Lysmata grabhami

you'll never be able to have a 100% "reef safe" fish/invert. The animals are collected from the reef therefore they all eat something on the reef. The best bet is to determine what corals you want to keep and buy fish that have a lower chance of eating those corals.
