File Fish Reef Safe?

[sergiotami]

Anyone ever put one in their reef tank?

Aptasia eating file fish? We have not kept them, but understand from others who have had that they are not reef safe.

Very hit and miss from what I have read also.

How about a Copperband butterfly?

I tried a file fish with no luck......

Recently picked up some berghias from reeftown and they are putting in work... Been staying up late at night and turning pumps completely off and they come out of hiding...

Even with the pumps on, aptasia has been disappearing. With a total water volume of about 150 gallons, i ordered sixteen of the 1/4-1/2" nudibranches.... The few i saw late at night are about 1" big now....

I found one in my frag tank, which was awesome cause i didnt place any there... Just in my display. I did put the 3 sacks of eggs which were freebies in the fuge. So i hope they hatched and made their way to my frag tank.... Which would mean they are throughly cleaning my system.....

I had a pair of aiptasia eating filefish. They never ate coral and never went for the aiptasia either.
