Need advice FAST on foxface!

I want to buy this foxface but I'm concerned about him eating my corals since he's already 6". Anyone have any experience good or bad?

Zoas are a big risk.

I had a regular one and he didn't touch anything. I'm gonna try to get one of those black ones that was on ReefBuilders.

I am planning on moving my zoas to my 20L so they won't be a big issue. I have been wanting one of these guys since forever and my tank is very uncrowded and friendly. I also like to feed so he shouldn't have issues with eating corals because of hunger.

I think you would be fine then. I had one for a little while that didn't touch anything. My buddy had one that ate tons of his zoas and palys. LOL!

That stinks Rev! Now you've got me worried. Any one have problems with them with other soft corals such as ricordia and green polyped toadstools?

Hopefully you've got a top on the tank! I had one that loved to stay along the top of the tank and well, he ended up carpet surfing.

I do have tops. I have flame wrasses so yeah. lol...tops are necessary for sure!

I might pass then. I can't imagine having it eat the eyes from my BPC FT.... :mad2:

They are beautiful fish though.

 

[mallorieGgator]

Yeah they are. I've always wanted one since I saw one in WWC's display a long time ago. It was fine I believe in their tank. However, my tank is only a 120 and they had theirs in a much larger tank.

Anyone have any advice on a good grazer then? I need something that's going to clean up some HA I have left over that I can't reach and something that isn't boring. No lawnmower blennies. They never seem to clean for me.
