As mentioned above, the family Monacanthidae is a highly diverse family and this is true when it comes to feeding habits as well. Before you purchase filefish for your aquarium it is very important to find out the feeding requirements of that particular species. Some species are chiefly herbivore and feed primarily on algae and seagrass, while others are more omnivore and supplement the plants with plenty of small invertebrates. Hydrozoans, gorgonians and tunicates are just a few examples of aquatic creatures that frequently end up in the belly of a filefish. It is also important to remember that some species of filefish are corallivores, i.e. they eat corals and are not recommended for reef aquariums.

Would a common lionfish' sargassum fish' sea goblin scorpion' tassle filefish' and matted filefish be able to peacefully live together in a 125g tank?
In a 125-gallon tank, it is possible for lionfish, sargassum fish, sea goblin scorpionfish, tassle filefish, and matted filefish to coexist, but careful consideration is needed. These species have varying temperaments and environmental needs, so providing ample hiding spaces and territories can help reduce aggression. Additionally, monitoring their interactions is crucial, as some fish may exhibit territorial behavior or predatory tendencies. Overall, success will depend on individual personalities and the tank's setup.
Would a common lionfish' sargassum fish' sea goblin scorpion fish' tassle filefish' and matted filefish be able to live peacefully in the same tank?
They all should be fine as long as theyre all around the same size. Though, I'd be careful with the filefish. They graze for marine algae constantly and could mistake a well-camouflaged Sargassum Angler for a succulent peice of Sargassum, leading to some nipping. Same goes for the sea Goblin, as they usually bury themselves up to their eyes, leaving them exposed to nipping as well.

Do aiptasia eating filefish damage LPS corals?
They can do yeh , mine ate his way through over £600 of acans and scollys - never touched an aptasia either :( not easy to catch them either if they do turn out to eat your corals - spent over a week trying to catch him in my 500litre reef tank - finally had to strip the tank down to get him ( not a great experience ) however I have read of other folks having these fish with varying degrees of sucess re aptasia , some say they have never touched thier corals at all - so like many things in this hobby, it's a calculated risk in my opinion
