they can ingest fishes actually longer than themselves

It is typically not aggressive toward non-related species

so can be kept in a school even in smaller reef tanks

they need meaty items as well

It eats small invertebrates (foraminiferans and amphipods) that grow on live rock and is therefore not suited for newly established tanks
