I could imagine it being done in a very large tank with established corals.

It depends on which species you get. If it's a Double Saddle, Chaetodon ulietensis, then yes it's definitely not reef safe. The True Falcula, Chaetodon falcula, might work depending on what you keep.

Thanks for the replys, but I don't think I will chance it.

A good decision. You never know what will happen. Beautiful fish though.
