Hi LongIslandAndy
Yes it is, please have a look here and here
It is reputed to eat Aiptasia or Glass anemone which possibly could be one of the reasons driving meagheavz aipstia outbreak (

1 2 3 ... Last Page) or any other reef keeper to have them...however they do not always eat that "stinging food", some tend to like more easy and not stinging foods to get , still a valid approach to do when fighting Aiptasia and an exotic and quite intriguing fish. Here you can read a bit more about this and other species of file fishes

Cheers
Pedro Nuno ;-)

Yes. For some reason I have seen them for sale under Chaetodermis pencilligerus which is the Tasseled filefish not the Bristle Tail. That is how I ended up with three bristle tails . They did an awesome job cleaning up my 120.
