"If you do get rid of him, make sure he polishes off your GSP first."
I knew someone would say that. lol I have a rock that is "balancing" on another. So the GSP has to grow down into the "Dark" to spread. Well, I guess it can't do that because it never has. However, it grows upon itself and is sending a 3 inch ledge out, trying to span the gap. When I get proper lights, then the GSP will be taking up good real estate and have to go. |

My foxface was fine for a year then he decided to clean a large rock of some sweet orange zoos....there must have been 300-400 on there and he cleaned it all up in less than 2 weeks.
It sucked but what a great fish and he keeps my tank clean of algae so I guess I cant complain.

I had to get rid of my foxface because was eating my Zoas. I did find if I fed 3 times a day heavily then he would not nip at my corals, but then there would be the risk of water issues, so it was easier to just get rid of him.

Not all Foxface react the same ... I had a tank with mix of softies, LPS and SPS ... the foxface was one of my favourites ... he never touched any corals and I even had a argrocrete back wall covered in GSP ... he did clean up nuisance algae though
He was certainly the most interesting as he would be swimming along and all of a sudden decide to camoflage himself against a coral changing colours to match the coral He had some big tankmates though which may have spooked him - Atlantic Blue Tang, 2 Yellow Tangs, Sohal Tang etc very cool fish
