Tasseled Filefish Reef Safe?
Does anyone have experience with Chaetodermis penicilligerus (Tasseled Filefish aka Prickly Leatherjacket aka Leafy Filefish). I have heard they are great for Aiptasia control but I'm wondering if they'll leave other inverts alone.

Most filefish aren't. Not sure about the tassled one though. Those guys are pretty funky, but I bet it isn't reef safe.

I did it before. It's kinda hit and miss.

Might I coax you to expand on your knowledge? How did it go? Did yours "behave", leaving desirable inverts alone? Thanx much,

I've kept one.
For the most part, mine was pretty docile. It took some time before it started swimming to the front of the tank to greet you. I keep 2 cleaner shrimps and he leaves them alone; doesn't touch my corals much either. As for feeding, mine took on a diet of mysis shrimp. Make sure you cover up powerheads though. Since they're slow swimmers, mine had an unfortunate accident with a SEIO. Last edited by Moogled; 11-01-2006 at 04:25 AM.
