Harlequin Filefish (oxymonacanthus longirostris)

[Zuska]

I know these arent reef safe to sps tanks. But can i put a pair into a lps tank filled with zoas, acans and chalices? will these fish pick on the polyps on acans?

 

[FaviaFreak]

I have read they can pick at acans and do some damage but won't eat them. They need to be fed constantly so as not to do damage to acros and digitatas...here is some info gathered from another website
