Sally Lightfoot eating Pocillopora?

[gsengel]

We have a new Sally Lightfoot (Percnon planissimum -- carribean) and we've seen it on our Pocillopora quite a bit. We can't tell if it is doing damage or not yet, but the coral retracts its polyps whenever he is on there.

Is this something we should worry about? Has anyone had any trouble with this before?

Thanks for the advice!

Best,
Greg

Not a reef safe crab at all IMHO. Here's an experience with this crab I posted:
