    I have two in my 55 and they don't bother a thing,I was a little worried at first but they have behaved themselves,constantly picking at the rock and sand.They actually shy away from the other fish except the blenny but I think he just aggravates them for fun so they kinda nip back at him but they've been together for awhile and not one scratch, as for the corals they have never bothered them except for crawling over them sometimes but the cleaner shrimp do the same thing.

    A SLF is very opportunistic. Make sure you keep it well fed or it will go on the hunt. I watched them on the Discovery channel not to long ago eating baby penguins.
