File fish

[Brittany Marie]

Looking to get a file fish to take care of some Aiptasia. Will it be okay with my valentini puffer and corals?

I have seen some doing well in a mixed reef, some doing well in sps only , and some wreaking havoc on lps in another mixed.

I have two in my 150 mixed reef. They will do the job, however one or both of mine have eaten my acans. Some of my zoas have been eaten as well. My plan is to hopefully leave one in the tank and get rid of the other one. Hopefully this will cut down on the softy damage. But at least the aphasia are getting wiped out. So I agree it’s a roll of the dice with file fish. However they have worked for me, even with the trade off.
