Heniochus varius reef safe?

[puravida]

Is heniochus varius considered reef safe?
My lfs is quarantining a pair for me, they say they are safe, I am a little hesitant. New 120 gal tank, currently stocked with lawnmower blennie, saddleback clown w/anenome, foxface rabbit, 2 yellow tail damsels, 2 cleaner shrimp, 3 royal grammas and a fairy wrasse. Have all the MH lights we need to support corals, and hope to be adding lots of stuff besides fish in the near future. THANK YOU!

"Will nip at some sessile invertebrates, including stony coral polyps. Can be housed in a shallow- or deep-water reef tank, if the aquarist is prepared to feed it frequently enough."

I agree. I've actually seen Bannerfish pick on corals that the people at the pet store feed to their Butterflies.
