Aptasia eating file fish with cleanup crew?

[sixline]

Will they eat any of the following?

- Cleaner shrimp?

- Snails?

- Emerald Crabs?

Possibly. But probably not. I have seen many "aptasia eating" filefish misidentified. If yours is indeed one of the smaller files, you should be fine with your CUC.

Like I mentioned above .. often misidentified. Some can be coral eaters...

Even the correctly identified aiptasia eating filefish is known to nip coral on occasion.
