[quote=Abbyreefer;448219]I picked up a gorgeous orange spot filefish last week and I'm curious what everyone/anyones success has been with this fish ? It's eating frozen like crazy and seems to be doing well. Just curious if anyone has any tips they can share... He's a pic not of mine but off google which looks identical to the one I bought.

Did the LFS tell you that they eat coral polyps?
If not you better scoop her up and take her back to the LFS for a full credit.
I am surprised you can find them in LFSs for sale anymore.

I agree, very beautiful, but if you have coral not a good thing... The only reef safe filefish is a emerald green one. I had one, but he eventually died, I think he was bullied
