Is it possible? I really want one but my display is full of small fish and shrimp. It will have 1 black sea cucumber some large hermits + snails (already have) and MAYBE a large cleaner shrimp. It would mainly be a soft coral but there will be a couple LPS. I was thinking 40-50 gallons.

Thanks
 
They are nice and cute when they are very small,but they grow quickly and will rearrange your frag tank to suit themselves,on a daily basis.You will need to rehome it to a bigger aquarium,sooner than later.Essentially it is like putting a bull in a China store.
They will add a lot of nutrients to your system and they are escape artists,too.They also will eat your hermits.On the plus side they are very entertaining.I had a 36" Snowflake ,who was like having a pet dog ,in the aquarium.Very docile,but every so often something would make it upset,and it would have a tantrum churning up the substrate and the LR would get reorganized.

Mine has never went after hermits but will go after any size shrimp, and definitely will rearrange your tank for you lol.
