Dustin,
Thank you for contacting us with your great question on this gorgeous Anchor Tusk. We list them as caution with reefs as they mainly consume hard-shelled prey including crustaceans, mollusks and sea urchins. So it is possible it will eat many of your shrimp, crabs and snails in your aquarium.
If you would like some more information that we were able to find on fishbase.org, you may wish to click on the following link:
