Foxface Fish

[Tigger]

Does anybody have any experience with foxface fish? Are they good algea eaters? Do they pick at corals or invertebrates? Are they hardy?

Try a search on the group when you have some questions. Usually you will get some good info that has already been discussed.

You didn't sound abrupt.. you sounded like a mod.. ;) lol I was going to post the same thing. But you beat me to it.

Anyways.. Steve should know better. :wink: Right Steve? lol

I have a foxface and he is awesome ! ... in fact he is best buddies with my Yellow Tang ... they will both eat half a sheet of Nori in a few hours no problem and pick at algae all day long ... keep in mind that they do get large so plan for that if you get one.

Cheers

do you think they will eat hair algea?

Mine has been nipping at the small tufts that show up now and then ... last time was from some new rock that was introduced and the Foxface and Tang took care of it in no time.

Cheers

My foxface is doing the same, picking at small patch of algae when it shows up, not bothering any of my sps, lps, softies.
