He was a bugger when smaller, he chased and nipped fins. My foxface didn't look that great as his fins got pretty nipped up. But over time it got better.

I got him from golds, and he was eating pellets, but when I got him home, he didn't. Could only get him to eat Nori. Over time I decided to not feed nori at all, basically starve him into eating the pellets. Well that did work, and I found feeding him the pellets, must of satisfied him, cause his aggression subsided.

Now, he is quite peaceful. Larger in size and still eating mostly varied types of pellets with some Nori. He does do the odd chase, but does not damage any fish or coral. So I would say he is a success!!
