Hi Darren,
I'm a bit confused on this one. Isn't the purpose of an active/standby config to have a floating ip address? If the standby appliance becomes active the floating ip address should move across as well (arp etc. working fine). If you do remove the floating ip it will use the real self ip of the LTM, however, if a failure occurs (active appliance shuts down for some reason) existing traffic will be dropped as the self ip won't be available.
Let us know if I've misunderstood your scenario.
