do you think i will have any issues keeping him in a reef system. The local store told me he was reef safe than also DESTROYED the tank trying to get him out it was insane i almost told them to keep the fish but he was so nice i had to get him outta there.

You think he will pick at any corals?

Corals will be fine, but she'll be hard on snails, hermits, crabs, etc.

Thanks there was mixed reviews around the web i was going to go with good with corals but watch out for snails. I just got a purple linckia starfish but that things huge i hope he doesnt mess with it. Will see :)

Purples are almost always Tamaria sea stars (not Linckia), but that's a seperate thread.

Should be fine with that.
