i'm wondering if anyone has had this fish in their reef tank? did it try to eat any of your other fish? did it try to eat your snails or cleaner shrimp? im entertaining the idea of getting one i mostly have tangs clownfish some damsels and angelfish and a bluethroat trigger and a square anthias and yes i know they get big i have an 8 foot tank in my garage im about to upgrade to and i have a 6 foot tank im using at the moment
 
big eye black bar soldierfish?
 
Soley based of google i have no experience (hopefully will give a bump to get someone with first hand experience):

most sources say peaceful, nocternal, max of 8 inches so definitly dont need huge tank. i didnt see any explicit mention of eating cleaner shrimp but some ppl said to start feeding it with ghost shrimp so i would worry a bit
