I don't think anyone on here has one, that I know of. On LiveAquaria they're listed as With Caution and they list a lot of actual With Caution fish as reef safe, so I'd say, some of them are some aren't depends on the individual.

I've had one for about 8 months, has been great so far. Hasn't bothered any fish or corals, great fish.

They are about as reef-safe as the Copperbanded Butterflyfish, sometimes fine, sometimes nippy.
