Could my filefish have bit my new acan?

[TCseh]

I just got some frags in yesterday. And one of them was an acan. I have a filefish but I have been watching him hard because if he disides to turn on my acan it's just a small frag. I have seen him bite it once. It did not cause any damage. My question is I went to sleep and I saw a head of the acan look like this, and I'm wondering if that's a bite mark. I can't remember if it had that yesterday. It's the little hole on the left of the closest head.

File fish can bite/eat soft coral. I had one from my LFS and it ate/killed a few zoas I returned him and got a ORA one that didnt eat coral.

Do you think what I'm seeing is a bite mark though?

I don't think there is any way to tell if that is for sure a bite mark or not. It could have just been damaged in transit or came that way. I would just continue to watch.

I see my file fish pick at stuff it could be just looking for something to eat I would just watch and look. Cant really see from that angle another pic?

He is definitely going after it. It's like trying to defend a newborn from a pitbull. I am going to take him back to my lfs today.

Probably for the best did you get him for the aptasia or just for a fish? Maybe ask for a trade for another one.

I got him as a pre measure for aptasia. I don't have any atm though.

I just use the aptasia x cement to cover them It works fine for me. My file fish never ate aptasia.
