all filefish are obligate polyp eaters(sps polyps) as unsafe as u can have in a tank.

lol they're reef safe as long as you've got a big enugh reef that you'll never notice the damage from a fish that only eats SPS polyps.

I already have it since last thursday, all the SPS i have are small frags, i notice that they are close insted of full open, but my concern is they still will grow or they are gonna died? thanks guys for your help.

IMHO that fish should not be sold period, since its diet is only corals.
