I’ve got one and love her/him. I got him to see if he would find my ball anemones tasty. I took all corals I could out of my DT and put in about her tank I have. I need to move some corals back into DT to see if he will nip at them. I haven’t seen him eat any ball anemones yet but really like how the filefish moves around the tank. Any suggestions on what coral would tempt him the most? Would like to move all my corals back but want to check if he’s a coral eater. Hasn’t touched the corals or Rock anemones that are still in DT. So I’m hoping she/he’s not a nipper.
Do you have Acans in your tank with your Matted Filfish?
I have 2. And to be honest, they're not growing very well. I attribute their poor health more to the shading from other corals and their proximity to a huge Hollywood stunner chalice and Duncan than the filefish.
Hollywood Stunner would be my guess
Lobo, acans, trachy, duncans, bubble, a couple different palys, rainbow star polyp, zoas, candy cane, couple of different chalices, and way too many SPS to name (don't think I could if I had to). I'm sure I'm leaving something out.
Cool, I heard they like Duncan’s also. I’ll slowly move stuff back. Now that he knows he gets fed other ways he might be less tempted to do so.
