Their diet is unknown, but they're reported to feed on sessile inverts, which is a pretty broad category. They may be reef safe and they may not. They're listed by the IUCN as vulnerable though. Missing 2 legs doesn't sound healthy at all and I wouldn't expect it to love a whole lot longer, especially if you have less than 100 lbs of mature rock for it to graze.
