Pygmy filefish

Does anybody have experience with them? There isn't much info out there about them. Supposedly they are reef safe. Can 2 of these be kept in a 75 gallon even if you end up with 2 males?

If added simultaneously two males can coexist in a 75. They are mostly reef safe, but have seen specimens pick at duncans and blastos.

I don't have personal experience, but I did research them a bit. I read enough about them picking at corals to make me worry. I also saw one first hand at the LFS relentlessly picking at the fins on a wrasse. (My 18 year old daughter was with me and ended up crying over it; it was so bad.)

OK...thanks, I have duncans and a wrasse...so I think I'll pass :(
