One Spot Foxface in a Reef ?

[gregzz4]

This is great news so far
Thanks all

I'm sure there are many more answers to come

I had a big one and all it ate was hair algae and pellets

Mine eats mysis, brine shrimp, nori etc. However it doesn't touch any corals. My tank is sps, no lps, no softies.

Ditto at least with the first foxface I owned, ate every zoa but brown pally's....funny how that works. The one I have now so far hasn't touched any coral.

All rabbitfish grow fast and big. They are a food fish species. For a 75g display, I wouldn't recommend it. It says 7" on some sites, but every rabbitfish I've known has grown very quickly. Mine outgrew my tank in about 6 months but it was not a foxface.

Well, I bought one anyway
Max size for this dude is supposed to be under 8"
It's a better choice for me to keep the wifey happy with this, rather than a longnose hawkfish
When this 3-1/2" dude gets too big for our DT, I'll put him up on the site
I know, I never wanted to be one of the peeps that re-sell fish that outgrow their tanks, but he'll be a good bud for a tang in the meantime ... unless the wife finds something else for him to play with

Thanks for all your input everyone

My one spot couldn't be a better reef inhabitant. Doesen't touch anything he shouldn't in my mixed and when my arm is in my tank scraping algae he's right there waiting for it. I imagine I could probably even hand feed him.
