Males can be territorial but that size tank you should be ok. Do a quick search to find out how to sex them, the males have the bristles on the caudal peduncle. Get a male/female pair, they also live happily in a female harem.

I have a male radial filefish and a female “aiptasia eating” filefish in my reefer 350 which is about that size. When I first moved the male to that tank he tried to follow the female around, she just ignored him, now they both ignore each other. Both are from Biota and have been in the same tank together for over a year. Maybe I was just lucky.
