Long Nose Orrange spots Filefish

[benheer]

I just bought 3 orange spots file fish and place in the sps tank. The file fish nipped at the SPS causes all the polys to close. However I notice that the ealy next morning when all the lights is closed the polys is fully open. Can anybody share their experience in keeping this beautiful fish. Will the fish cause any damage to the SPS eventually and any body has success in anyway.

they are stubborn sps polyps eater.

you can sustain them if you have many sps. however if thats the case, will you able to sustain your sps.

possible but you will need a big tank with many sps.

can be trained to eat frozen food and pellets/flake.

but very very difficult.

so will the sps get killed eventually?

if you have very little SPS then yes.
