As for boxfish in general, My understanding is they are considered "advanced" fish because they have some specific requirments. As in
#1 they are poor swimmers so they require a slower flow then most reef tanks have.
#2 they need to be fed under the water (no surface feeding) air in there digestive track can be fatal
#3 they cant be kept with cleaner fish, there "cleaning" can actually damage the box fish's skin.
#4 they may make a snack of your corals and or inverts.

Well outa all these the only thing that may actully be an issue is the feeding underwater. Mine never touched a coral. and he loved the cleaners. They would clean his mouth all the time. They are deffinitly a character.
