I've got one and have had it for a while. Mine does bother the occasional snail but it's easy enough to restock every now and then. I have one picture in my gallery and you can see another here:

I found one a month ago, it's already my favorite fish:

At first it was difficult to get him to eat. Does not like mysis or chopped shrimp, but does like brine, prime reef, formula 1 and 2, marine cuisine, and emerald entree. This fish is very graceful and swims all over tank. When the lights go out, he will swirl the sand and dive in it, burrowing to sleep. If you know where one is I would get him! I believe they are reef safe, they even serve a purpose (I think they help control brisleworms and some sort of bad snail). A+ with me!

Wow - not mine. I haven't found anything he doesn't eat. He even goes after the nori that I put out for my tang.
