Are box fish reef safe? I thought they grew very large and ate the rest of your reef as expensive snacks.

No they are not reef safe. You thought right.

The indo pacific (Ostracion Tuberculatum) Blue-spotted Box fish is reef safe according to the complete encyclopedia of the salt water aquarium. It is also invertebrate safe but may peck at tube worms, all other box fish seem to be safe as well except for the hover craft box fish.
