They will eat motile inverts such as crabs, shrimps, snails and urchins, but wont bother corals.

I've had one for 12 years in a reef. I have plenty of crabs he doesn't touch. I don't have snails besides those little colonistsa ones, but he doesn't touch those. The biggest issue is that he is a little aggressive to new tank mates for a few days, but he gets over it. Also, they are big eaters, so make sure to have proper filtration.

Ive always thought about doing this aswell and I was so close but just really worried about my clam. Paid $100 for it and did not want to risk it.
