Several species common to the aquarium trade, Chilomycterus genus; the smallest of which get to ~ 10", require ~90+ gallons, full marine, personalities supposedly comparable to a porc.
Many report great difficulty getting them to eat, and many are lost to starvation.
Expect IP's.
I imagine they are for the most part reef-safe.
They certainly are cool looking fish.
