Is this crab reef safe?

I have a dotted moon crab in my tank . I want to know if it will be a harm to corals and anemones. It really likes to swim and bumps around the tank a lot.

Moon crabs are typically not considered reef-safe. They are opportunistic omnivores and may feed on small invertebrates, including corals, anemones, and other reef inhabitants. Additionally, moon crabs are known to be proficient diggers, which can disrupt the stability of the substrate and potentially damage coral structures.

Buy all the coral you want, just don't put them in a tank with a moon crab

Let me repeat myself: "Moon crabs are typically not considered reef-safe. They are opportunistic omnivores and may feed on small invertebrates, including corals, anemones, and other reef inhabitants."
