filefish compatability???

[Stephen P]

I was in my LFS today and saw a fish that I thought I might buy, but I want to find out more about it first.

Its a file fish, not the orange spotted. It was mostly green with a yellowish tail about 3 inches in length.

Anyone have any info/ideas as to which file fish it is or its behavior? Is it reef safe? I tried searching the web, but could not find much useful info except to stay away from orange spotted which this is definitely not.

Thanks in advance

Filefishes are related to the triggers so they would probably pick on srustaceans and stuff not sure about corals. Probably not a good idea for a reef tank.
