HMMMM, that isn't good.

Foxface's are never worth $100 bucks, $40 bucks is what I paid for mine. They did try to rip you off. May I ask where? you should let us all know.

Personally I only shop at the following, please tell me it isn't one of them:
- Gold's
- Red Coral
- Ocean City (sometimes)
- Wai's (sometimes)

HEHE, I know where, as most do know.

Is it a Magnificent? If so, large ones can be about that price. Small ones can be $70-$80. So either way if it is this one, you would of got a real good deal @ $40

I see your point, I had a similar experience with regards to certain corals. The price for me was $150, for a friend who shops there weekly it was $80. Even though this company has some beautiful corals and fish, I don't shop there anymore, neither does my friend.

But if the Foxface in question was a Siganus magnificus, then maybe $80-100, but a Siganus unimaculatus should not be more than $40. I've purchased both in the past three months, only to succumb to my Powder Blue.

What! Your Powder Blue took them out, I didn't know that would happen. Powder Blues are usually passive.

Yes, the Magnificent lasted three days, while the Blotched/ One-spot lasted one day, both were larger than him. In total this PBT has wiped out four fish, Yellow Tang, Regal and two Foxfaces. I had to remove a Nasso, and another Regal for their own safety. He also pins my Majestic in a corner on a daily basis.

IMO, if anyone is planning on getting one, make sure it’s the last one in, and if there are other tangs make sure they are larger and a little aggressive, this guy will become the boss in a day or so.


If you did buy the Foxface, $40 for a Magnificent would have been a sweet deal.
