HI Ben,

I ahve had two. Wonderful fish. Not reef safe.

How big of a tank are you planing on putting it in? They grow very fast and grow very big. 20" as an adult. In less than six months mine went from 1" to 6" and growing steadily. As a juvenile you will need to put foam over your powerheads intakes as they aren't strong enough to get out of the suction. They pick and taste everythig in the tank. Twice at least. My larger one used to pull the polyps off of my xenia for fun. It didn't like the taste but still did it none the less.
If you have a large tank you can dedicate just to these guys I say go for it. You will need an established tank with good filtration as tehy are very very mesy eaters. And produce lots of waste.

They are a very fun fish to have as they will be at teh front of the tank everytime you walk by "begging" for food.

If you want to know anything more let me know.
