I put two of them (huge!) in an LPS display abot two months ago. No issues whatsoever. From everything I had read and heard, they are reef safe.

Well some thing had been eatinf one of my leathers.It looked like a snail or something w/rasping radula like teeth.I have two of those black limpets and the dude I got them for sayed they did'nt eat corals.Well some thing was eating my leather so when i let the dog out @ 2pm I would take a quick peek @ the tank to see if i could find what was doing the damage.Well last nigjht I saw one of the two black limpets on this leather munching away so i pulled him out.
