i have one in a reef tank with everything under the moon and it bothers nothing, and the aiptasia will grow back when hes gone i removed 3 small pieces of rock that was once covered in aiptasia then was "eaten" by my matted filefish and i watched him nibble it numerous times ,the 3 pieces were covered again in no time once put in a different tank by themselves

I had to rehome my "tomentosus" Filefish because he ate Zoas and bit all my several different species of brain corals enough to create little white peck marks all over them. I did witness him doing both these heinous acts. He didn't bother any of my SPS corals or Nepthea.

I've had mine a few months now, he doesn't touch anything but aptaisia in my tank, I have SPS, LPS and clams. I do NOT have any more aptaisia !

He eats frozen mysis really well, so no concerns with running out of food.
