A good friend of mine had one in his SPS dominated tank for well over a year with no incidents. Ate aiptasia and fish food as others have already mentioned.

Just added one to my SPS reef last week. So far no problems but I also haven't seen him eat any aiptasia as of yet either...

They have to be one of the coolest fish you can and to your reef tank. Mine never ate sps or aiptasia but loved my zoa so he had to go . But like brad said they almost swim into the net.

There's a filefish at my LFS that is the same shape as the matted but lighter in color with a red dot in the center of its body. I can't find any info on it. Does anyone have a clue of what kind it is?
