I never see any posts about this fish.
Are they reef safe and why many people don't include them in their reefs ?

They get big and eat other fish.

'Big" is an understatement, they get HUGE.

But huge in few months ?
Also in a 90g can they become so huge ?

Can someone give me any url that have some info about these fish ?

what fish is this any have a picture? I think I might have an idea but I am not 100 % sure

they do get HUGE.

they will not get full grown in a 90g. but they will get to a size where they are jsut too dang dirty and messy and problomatic for a 90g.

I am simply amazed at how ugly those things can get.
