Anyone had success with a Klein's in an SPS only tank?

Anyone kept a Klein's ? Did they eat all polyps? Anemone's?
 
I had a Kleins BF in a softy tank and it ate all the skirts off all the button polyps.
Just the skirts.
But first it ate all the aptasias and majanos.
 
I had a LFS had one in there tank with no problems but others reported them eating all kinds of things
 
I had a Kleins nip at LPS after it took care of the aiptasia.
 
DON'T do it, I did and it was a mess, started eating my zoas and polyps, had to take all the live rock out of my tank trying to catch the fish and doing this caused my water to reqally dirty up and I lost a few frags, the frags I lost were all the high $$$$ ones, not the cheap ones. DON'T do it, the chance you take in getting one that won't eat your zoaas isn't worth it. Two of the frags I lost came from Mid West frags, lol
