Ocellated Soapfish, Reef Safe?

Hello

Is the Ocellated soapfish a threat to shrimp and crabs?

Thanks

Doubtful, although peaceful it's classed as an uber-predator that will attempt to eat anything it can fit in it's mouth, and at a max. 5" that will be most inverts.

Also releases poisonous toxins when stressed or dies which is why it's classed as an 'expert' only fish for mature systems (over 30g according to internet).
