Natural Aiptasia predators

Do file fish eat other corals? Hammer, duncan?

Absolutely! I just traded mine in for a couple of peppermint shrimp. After he eradicated all my aiptasia, the filefish then killed all my rock flower nems and an elegance coral. Then he started on my lobo. That's when I got rid of it.

Yeah, I guess it's a hit or miss with these guys. I don't have any corals that would get eaten so I couldn't say if he would eat them or not.
