Has any one kept Thornback Cowfish in a reef?

[Oliver_Klosoff]

Hey all

Just doing some research on whether anyone has kept a Thornback Cowfish (Lactoria fornasini) in a reef tank. If you have, what problems did you have if any? Did they pick at coral if so did you notice what kinds of coral they sampled? Is there anything that I may be over looking and need to know?

Thank you for any help you could give me.

I havent kept the thorn back but i have kept the normal cowfish (cornuta)when they small they dont bother too many corals but when they grow they eat most kinds soft and hard corals , i had it biting xenia, leathers and some sps too , it avoided anemones though
