Tasseled Filefish Reef Safe?

bulletsworld · #1 11-02-2006, 05:01 AM

I had a tassled and a variety of filefish in the past. The only one I had that went after inverts (shrimp, snails, clams) was the scribbler filefish. Never once did I have a filefish touch corals though. I all found them to be very docile but anti social and got picked on easily by fast moving fish. Imo, very fasinating creatures though. Ate like piggies. Had to feed them more then once a day to be happy and healthy.

Good luck with your new Tassled filefish.

That settles it.

Next time you see a Tassled Filefish, it's going in your tank.

PS: Get 'em small.
