absolutely they def arnt reefsafe, they tend to go for fleshy lps and fancy zoos more than anything else, but not all do as brad said ike angels its really hit or miss.
if you can borrow one off someone thats got a good one is best(i went that route once and borrowed mine to a friend for a couple weeks)
its worth a shot, def if you can remove some lps and zoas while hes doing his job.
also it has to b the matted filefish no other filefish will do the job, and alot get sold as matted filefish or aiptasia eating filefish.
this is the fish you are looking for:
