Some pipefish are reef pipes (Janns, multibanded, blue stripe, dragon face), so they'll be suitable for a reef tank. The only difficult thing is they usually only eat pods at the beginning (I think some of them never even convert into frozen food), so make sure that you have plenty of pods to sustain the pipefish.
I had kept blue stripe before, and it took about 4-5 months until it started to eat frozen food.
I have a multibanded pipe in my SPS tank right now, and thankfully he finally eats frozen mysis after 3 months. I have him for about 6 months now.
Tank mates are pair of clowns, goby, blenny, rabbitfish, and fairy wrasse.
