I am not sure where this comes from.. but the magical properties of krylon fusion are regularly passed along in reef forums and have taken on a life of their own.
What set the original "Krylon Fusion for Plastic" paint apart form other spray paints was the amount and type of solvent (read: Volitile Organic Compound) that was used in the mix. It may have had plastic monomers in it as well, to create a plastic coating as it dried. I can not confirm that part. In any case it etched itself onto plastic surfaces as it dried. That fact took on a life of its own and the urban legends began.... "reef safe" with the ability to "stick to anything forever, even underwater"...
That was nonsense then, and even more nonsensical now. Krylon Fusion, like all other paints, has far fewer VOCs than it used to, and therefore, for lack of better words, sucks.
Reef Safe? Yeah, most likely, as is just about any other spray paint
