Radial Filefish Experiences?

SoloChromis · 10/27/2013, 05:58 PM

These guys keep showing up on Diver's Den and Ive always thought a pair would make a unique addition to my mixed reef. My eventual plans for my 120 include mainly LPS, softies/gorgs and some red monti to be the sole representative of the SPS family. I know the matted filefish have a reputation for picking at things like zoas and other soft corals, but the radials stay a bit smaller and from what I can tell, will actually make themselves comfortable in a colony of xenia. Anybody ever try these guys in a reef, and what was your overall experience with them?

Their potential tank mates :
- Yellow Longnose Butterfly
- Zebra Moray Eel
- Blue Jaw Trigger
- Starry Blenny
- 2x Picasso Percs
etc.
