Grabbed one last week to take out aiptasia. The guy I bought it from recommended it and said it was completely reef safe. Nope. He's taken out one small cluster of zoanthids and is now working on another patch. On the bright side, my wife is letting me start a fowlr 55gal. He's going to love it there!
On a side note, I've noticed my skunk shrimp has been hiding under rocks since I added the filefish. My hippo and yellow tang have left him alone. Which is kind of odd. They're kind of bullies.

Edit: He did eat all the aiptasia. He's great at that!
 
Not to hijack the thread or anything, can multiple filefish be kept together? I have 1 in my 29 cube that cleared all my aptasia & 1 in my 220 reef, the one in the 29 keeps swimming back & forth & I was considering putting him in the 220,anyone know if they will fight?
I have no idea what the sexes are of either one.
Thanks
