    Many filefish are overlooked for not being reef safe but there are some small species that can live in reef aquariums. Blennies, gobies, and hawkfish are good fish.

    Some filefish are specialized eaters, meaning they only eat one thing, thus making them hard to care for. some blennies will eat algae, hawkfish could potentially eat unwated crabs.
