I'd check with Jason at Greenwich Aquaria. I know he has been playing around with a few species that stay smaller and are reportedly even reef safe. Most species neither stay small nor are reef safe thus the comments above 
Apparently in Europe they are quite common in larger reef tanks.... but you need to get the right species.

Sounds like a Chuck Norris joke in the making lol
I have to say that if the smaller ones act anything like the larger ones, then I really don't think it is right to keep them at all.
Unlike clowns/gobies/blennies that live their lives in a couple cubic feet of ocean, the Parrotfish I have seen when diving range for miles a day. It always seemed cruel to me to keep fish like that in a tank.

+1 on skip it
Buying these fish means that collectors will keep bringing them into the hobby.
So even if you can somehow take care of one (which would require more than a 6 ft tank), the majority of people who purchase them cannot.
Stop buying fish like this, and collectors will leave them alone.
