To file fish... Or not.

[emerald crab]

I have a matted filefish. He is a model citizen, doesn't touch corals and has a big appetite for aiptaisia and mysis shrimp. My tank is SPS only, so I can't tell if they pick on softies or LPS.

mine did well in my 33g zoa tank ate all my aiptasia and only thing it nipped was a candy cane and a nuclear green zoa, i found after owning 2 that the juvie was the nippy one and the adult never touched anything in my 110g mixed reef.

that said....theres lots of stories opposite of this so i guess its hit or miss depending on your corals

my matted filefish ate all the zoos off a rock and left the aptaisia, doesn't seem to bother anything else

Once the aptasia was gone it started to chow on Acan lords
