POLL: Foxface VS Rabbitfish! Which one do you prefer?

[Reefdiculous22]

My one spot would not touch meat. Definitely a herbivore except for my fireworks coral.

I was using the lrs herbivore frozen. Maybe that’s why he would eat that. I even put him in the sump and fed him heavily hoping when I put him back in the display he would be good, but as soon as I put him back in he went straight for the Duncan. He just had a thing for it I guess. Lol

Which one do you like best? Foxface or Rabbitfish? Post your experience with either or both of these cool fish, and post a picture of you've got one!

A foxface is a rabbitfish so this is kinda a interesting question.

The Gold Spot Rabbit went to the LFS, had to give it up, got too big 7"+ and started munching on corals. Lost the Foxface Lo to flukes.

How do you like that blenny? I'm thinking of getting one in a few weeks

 

[Slocke]

I just got a magnificent yesterday as I love foxes and will have one in every tank big enough. Unfortunately my tank is very reflective. Any advice on how to stop it hating itself?

Edit: sounds like I'm asking for a ish therapist lol

 

[Squidward]

I don't like either. If I was to get one, it would have to be the magnificent foxface but right now they're too pricey.

I've had several of each and have to say I prefer the foxface. Rabbits grow very quickly, get very large, and eat everything. One of them even ate the tentacles from my duncans and probably munched on a few other things. Rabbits do look nice but overall I'll take the foxface every time (going forward).

Very cool fish, I've had it for over 5 years now. It's starting to loose it's color a bit (getting old), but I love to see it swim! I never see them at the LFS anymore.

I'm shocked it hasn't spooked itself. Give it a few days or place some food out n about, it will go be a pig and forget it's image, lol.

The dog face at work does this all the time. Sometimes he'll even almost miss feeding because he's too caught up in his own reflection. Not sure if this is an issue; as someone else mentioned this behavior will straighten out once it sees some grub : )

My orange spot rabbit grew 4x his original size in less than a year. His name is Wilbur and he is a pig. He's the biggest fish in my system 3 fold, but is picked on by everyone. Especially by the Clown Tang. He's always been a bit timid. He grazes far more than the tangs and eats his algae sheets like it's a contest knocking the magnet loose at least once a week. Never touched any corals. Here's a before and after 10 months apart (first shot is terrible, but you get the point)

Has anyone here been stung by both a typical rabbitfish and a fox face? If so is the pain the same? I have a rabbit fish now he hasn't touched the bubble algae and he's not shy at all. I had a fox face and he loved bubble algae but was skittish and eventually successfully tile dived into the great beyond finally. One time he did it in front of me and I reflexively picked him up.. worst pain I've ever went through including broken bones.

I have been stung by a foxface once .
he jumped out of a bucket striking my right hand on the meaty part above your baby finger .
It instantly swelled up and throbbing pain I can’t describe .other than the worse pain I’ve ever felt .
a short time later my left side of my face felt weird
This lasted for over a week .

I want to say .. they are wonderful , my favourite fish but not to be messed with

I believe everyone would react different .
I’ve read it’s sometimes compared to a bee sting .
for me a bee sting is only a little bump , stings for a min and it’s gone .

It's definitely not like a bee sting for me. It starts like a hornet or bee sting but then it starts to spread like waves of intense pain, I was stung on my middle finger and the pain went from there up my arm to my face like you described. After two hours of the worst pain of my life I started googling it and happened to find the treatment. It's heat, as hot as you can tolerate. I used hot water submersion.

I wish that guy on YouTube who deliberately gets stung by insects would take a sting and compare it.

Coyote Peterson does stings on the YouTube channel Brave Wilderness. He has done the crown of thorns star fish and a Lion fish, but not a foxface AFAIK.

edit1 just saw your previous post that I was talking about a different channel. I’m not as familiar with the one you linked.
