I couldn't find any information on this guy so I thought share my experience. I bought mine from Divers Den a couple months ago, and so far he seems to be doing pretty well. They are labeled reef safe with caution and according to DD are "opportunistic feeders and if there is not enough macroalgae they may prey on some sessile corals such as Zoanthus or Palythoa."
So far, he's been mostly well behaved. He has "sampled" of few soft corals, but has not done any major damage. Sps and lps have been totally ignored. I think unless you have high end zoas and just really like soft corals, he's fine for a reef tank. Like I said he does nibble a little bit, but not enough to do any real harm so far.
This is how he looks most of the time, but if you poke him, he puffs up his spines.
Also, I haven't been stung...yet, so I can't tell you how bad the sting is.
