strap weed filefish eat aiptasia

Does anyone know if the strapweed filefish eats aiptasia. One is at LFS and they claim it does.

Pseudomonacanthus macrurus AKA. green filefish/ strapweed filefish. Looks almost like the aiptasia eating filefish but a little different.

I don't know if they do, but I hope so, because I have one of these

It's a fan-bellied leatherjacket and he looks sooo similar.

Great fish anyway, never touches my corals, and is always inquisitive. People always comment on him when they see my tank.

My green matted file fish ate all of mine. He is a great fish and now pals around with my Humu Trigger

very good, does it have a fan belly? i think the difference between the regular aiptasia and strapweed is the fan belly part.
