To be fair, mine left the coral alone until the aiptasia was gone.  Then it went to town.

my issue is its hard to catch fish... cemented rock work doesn't move... so unless i get them in a trap, they get to play as long as they want... (damn anthais won't get into the trap... cannot get them out either)

I had a file fish too.   I got one because I really liked the way they look.  I got it from someone who said it never touched his corals.  However, in my tank it at my torch corals and hammers.  I have to say, though, it is a very easy fish to catch.

perhaps for you, the first one I had I jhad to tear the whole tank apart, and the second may look like the same thing will happen

We had one for awhile as lisa really liked how they look and move.  Once his regular diet though became scarce he actually would come out to eat the frozen food we were putting in the tank.  At that time I figured we had better let him move on to another tank and return to working   ;D  He never touched any of the coral that we seen in the 125g tank.

Ours we caught fairly easily thankfully.  I am sure though alot depends on tank size and aquascaping.  Seeing ours would come out and join the rest of the fish it was a quick scoop and bag.
