Will A File Fish Eat Aptasia And Is It Reef Safe

[bae1994]

i was told by a member on here which i believe that a file fish will eat aptasia

what are your opinions on this

but will it hurt my corals and will it be ok with my stocking in my 100 gallon

also would it be hurt by my boiterouse fish

hi bae i did tell you are reef safe and i do have 3 of them in my reef tank so they will be perfectly fine in your tank they will be reffectly fine with your other fish

regards scott

 

[bae1994]

what species tho like tassled or what and i werent sure as most say not to keep with boisterouse fish

also do they eat aptasia in big amounts

 

[scott133]

hi

just make sure it is a Matted Filefish they will eat all your aptasia over time but usally when lights are out

regards scott

 

[bae1994]

There is one on the fishworld web site in the achilles tang thread started by scott. That one although now sold was £14. Make sure it is the aiptasia eating filefish. Don't get the tassled.
