tassle filefish.need help

I have a very GOOD lfs that I have been using for 20 years..(some advice I use some I blow off..especially when he hires new people that don't know anything!!!) but anyway....the owner knows me very well(after all I put 2 of his childern through college) he has offered me a tassled filefish for 20 bucks...I have checked on line and could'nt find much info...the regular price at the lfs is 70 bucks.I think they are also called the leafy filefish. the fish is awesome he has had it about 3 weeks and is saving it for me if I want it.but I don't know much about this fish...I have a 45 with 2 damsels 1 clown 2 turbo snails 5 hermits 1 emerald crab and 1 coral banned shrimp.....can anyone tell me a little more about this fish....sorry for the long post and Thank You Very Much!!! :D
 
I only know,that my lfs had one a while back,and
ha said that he will never get another,cause it
killed three of the other fish.But i know not all
fish are the same.Sorry not alot of help!!!!

My understanding is that they are a gentle fish and can be quite picky when it comes to getting them to eat.
They are beautiful fish, but I fear the damsels might haress it to death.
HTH,
