Is Sally Lightfoot Really Reef Safe?

[triggerfish]

I have a 3 Ft Cube, have 6 Japanese Supersun and several supersun etc. Lately, I realise my suns are not opening well and some polyp even closed for good.

By chance, I saw my Sally Lightfoot, which is estd 3 inches across, picking on the polyp ( which has some prawn meat after a feeding session)

So, just wondering other reefers' experience.

They are not 100% reefsafe from my own experience but do not deny they are great algae cleaner!

Once there is no more algae they fed on, they will pick on your LPS/softies.

some time, they are just picking on the algae on your sun ? i have 3 sally ligh foot in my tank and they are all well behalf and hard working fellow..

But like what thomas said, if they run out of food who know what they will do ?

they can really be superb in being the cleaning crew, no doubt about it, hence, now need to trap it before it does further damage.
