Sorry, pagojoe has been on vacation! There are actually a couple of Florida species that have been accused of eating or at least tasting of soft corals, including zoanthids. Those are the "Fleshy Limpets," and I'm not sure whether it's ever been confirmed, but it's certainly possible. Yours isn't one of those species, so I don't think it's likely to be a problem. If your limpet behaves like its closest Indo-Pacific relatives, it will feed on cryptic sponges and diatoms.

Cheers,

Don
