I've always wanted to try one of these and since my SPS problem was taken care of a while ago I decided to give it a try.
Orange spotted file fish:

I saw him feed at the LFS so hopefully all goes well.

Neat. You should post the name of the fish though! Got a species ID?

Good luck with him Danny! What is he eating btw...
I hope he does well for you.

Oxymonacanthus longirostris (Bloch & Schneider 1801), the Harlequin Filefish or Orange Spotted Filefish in the aquarium interest. The most commonly offered member of the family... and rarely alive for more than a week in captivity. In the wild almost only eats Acropora polyps.

This species is found on coral reefs, where it feeds on coral polyps.

There are many filefish that have the common name "Orange Spotted Filefish". If you search on the name you provided you will find that is not the correct one. See my post just above.

Last night at the LFS I saw it eat brine shrimp of all things. I know they usualy eat SPS polyps but I'm hoping to get lucky with this one. He can munch on my digitata, I don't mind.

Well, he eats fine. I just hope he doesn't eat the whole digitata at once because thats the only sps I have right now. Swims around lots and plays with the clown, seems to have adjusted well.
