information on the orange spotted filefish

I stopped by my local fish store earlier and came across a pair of Orange Spotted Filefish. They're really attractive fish, I must say. I was wondering if anyone could provide some insight into their tank requirements and whether they'd be compatible with clownfish.

fluxx, I also had a question about their diet - do they require coplakes, and do they even eat them?

I've always been a fan of these fish, but they just don't seem to make it in captivity. I mean, they're basically doomed as soon as they're taken out of the ocean. Unless you've got a constant supply of copepods to feed them, they just can't seem to thrive.

It's really a shame, I mean they're stunning fish and all, but chances are the ones in the shop will be dead soon. There are some people in the US who've had a bit of success with them, but it's a lot of work - they've been using a paste food on a corapora skeleton, that sort of thing.
