Trumpetfish to be avoided?

On Peter's list of fish to be avoided is a trumpetfish. There was no clarification provided and I've had a really hard time finding information on this fish online. One of the 700 LFS's in the greater Sacramento area has one in one of their large reef displays. The salesman said that it required 100 gallon setup and that it also required live food. It was georgeous and out and about showing off the whole time we were there.

We have a 100 gallon tank with a lionfish, a snowflake eel and a spiney box puffer. The lionfish didn't eat for 4 days after the introduction of the puffer but now all is well and the get along fine. They're all juveniles. Lionfish = 4", puffer = 4", eel = 6-7".

We've been considering the trumpetfish as the next addition but only after finding out more information on keeping them. The store selling it says they typically always keep one in stock and that one had been there for over a month.

Thanks,
Ron and Deanna
