Foxface

[Rmckoy]

I believe it’s from fighting as there is a bit of aggression every day and seams foxface is always the common denominator

I’ve noticed a few marks on his left side as well as a scratch on his nose .

What is it ?

Ive also noticed mine does this, but he is fairly stress free and happy, My foxface thinks he is a clown and hangs out with them allday/sleeps with them all cuddled up. although mine doesnt have that many spots on it . id be interested to also know

Interesting....no clue. Had one (Foxface Lo) a while with my YT, but the battle I think was too much for the Foxface. Following this one....

Never saw this on mine, he was the boss. Looks like rock damage.

He’s always fighting with every tang .

mata , orange shoulder , yellow all give him a ride for his money .
catch them tail slapping him daily ,

Sounds like they are protecting their food source. Do you feed crap loads of greens?

They get a lot of seaweed

I would try 2 clips, at opposite sides of the tank.

Of course he's fighting with every tang. They're all herbivores, they fight over the food source. I had our Foxface in a 60 gal with a Powder Brown tang and it was "WWE Battle Royal". Both were badly scarred - I moved the Foxface to another tank and now he's in a 120 and about 6" long & an inch thick.

In your pics it looks like he got spooked and ran into a rock. When mine had the big time battle, the tang had scars in a direct line from Foxface dorsals and the Fox had triangular marks all over it from tang backing into it.
