What do you guys think? Is this fish reef safe? Will it eat my snails and hermits?

I had one which was a model citizen. It showed no interest in snails or hermits at all.

i had one that didnt care about snails and hermits, and was a model citizen for about 6 months...then all of a sudden he had a huge appetite for my scolymias and brain corals...

mine was my favorite fish, till he perished in the great ich epidemic of 2005. Beautiful, graceful swimmer, went all over the tank, and as a nice bonus, he ate aiptasia.

I had one and it was a model citizen as well. I ended up losing him to an ich infestation:(
