Foxface sleeping on side?

[Steve1500]

I have a foxface in QT and at night it goes into camouflage mode and tilts to its side. It will do this when the lights are low also. When I turn on the tank lights, it yellows up and swims actively. It eats well and seems to be normal except when it’s on its side at night. Normal?

Do foxface have similar sleeping habits as hippo tangs?

My mag Foxface sleeps totally on its side, on the sand. Has done so since day 1 in QT.

Soon as the lights go on, her color comes back and she rights herself.

I say normal

All my fish are female.

Like ships and planes.

Feels nicer than calling them all ‘it’.
