I got an Australian Stripey. He did a fantastic job.
I've been seriously considering one of them. How has it been with your coral?

I have 2 filefish in my display and even though I never see them pick at aiptasia, a month or so after introduction all of the aiptasia are gone. Mine aren't even the ORA filefish, just wild caught specimens. Gotta have a lid though as they are jumpers, they seem to hang out at the surface at night and will jump when startled. I've peeled a few of them off of the floor tile in the morning. :expressionless-face:

I had one that only ate the small ones, but then one day developed a taste for snails. He went to live with @Mschmidt where he didn't touch a single aip.

Fiji Foxface are LPS nibblers... :angry-face:
My understanding is that all Foxies can, but it depends on the individual. I'm guessing that was your experience with the Fijian, Tim? My Andaman has been a model citizen so far. Except for murdering Lady Chanel, that is.

This is actually why I'm hesitant to get the Stripey. "Octo Alley" may look more like "Restaurant Row".
