red tail file fish

[trouble93]

Is a red tail file fish reef safe? I have Aiptasia problem and I hear these fish are good for this but may nip at coral.

IMO, they're not reef safe, and really not suited for aiptasia control.
They can be finicky eaters (as with most filefish) and usually ignore aiptaisa, especially if they know they're going to be fed something better.
