I think I may have to order one when I move, I loved my foxface, and he was just the standard yellow! This guy would look great in that hippie nano I made, if it was a lot larger tank haha..

I recently got this fish and love him. It been almost a week and so far he is doing good and eating well. My Chevron tang is harassing it but he maintains his ground,hope he does not get stressed out a lot.
