What do you know about them? anything bad? I read that most Filefish will pick at coral... he has never that i have seen...
Try raising a bunch a well back that were washing up on the shore. Did great till the heater crapped out and sent the tank to over 100°. Didn't smell good...
Keeping one, they get about 6" or 8", and if you can't tell by looking at them, they are pretty closely related to triggerfish. Bristletails are some of the less aggressive files though, and should leave most coral alone. Nipping here and there is probable. Inverts and stuff are at a slight risk.
