Are these boxfish coral safe? I have SPS and LPS. Are they considered easy to feed or finicky? thanks

No. But I don't know exactly what corals they prefer. I've considered add one to a reef, but only because I don't really care about my corals all that much.

Box fishes IME eat very well almost any food, but are very prone to ich. Some years ago my LFS set appart a couple of these fishes (really cool to have the blue male and the dark brown spotted female), unfortunately they got severly infested with ich and didn't make it. Other than that I think they are one of the nicest fishes and worth to set an aquarium around them, and better one of the first fishes to be introduced.

There has been a female meleagris at my lfs for several weeks. It will not eat anything at all so far.
