file fish question

[roundman]

Has anyone had one of these? I have a lot of aptasia on the rock in my sump so I put some of it in another tank and got a file fish. He is doing great for 2 days now but not sure if I should feed him or let him just eat the aptasia on the rocks.
He is very cool.

I have always liked the tassled file fish but I have heard they do not have a great mortality rate so I never bought one.

I bought Jeremy's old file fish for my friend. He was in a loosing battle against Manjano anemone for the past 3 years. After 2 weeks with the file fish, it clean up the whole 180 gallon tank full of Manjano. My friend couldn't thank me enough. He said it is a completely new tank now. Not sure about the Aptasia problems.

However in my case, I treated by triple whammy.
I added a Copperband butterfly, 2-3 Peppermint shrimps, and Berghia Nudibranches.
