In my 120 I want to add a foxface of some sort and a kole tang. The problem is, I also want to add lots of sea grass and as we all know, foxfaces and tangs like to eat green stuff.
Should the sea grass be ok? It's not an algae or a seaweed, so something's telling me it will be ok. But then I think "hungry herbivore + grass = not so hungry herbivore and no grass."
 
My Magnificent Foxface mows down on sea grass or similar macro algae. I would doubt if it did not eat them. The Kole would likely not touch them though.
 
Thanks for the input :) Hopefully I get one that doesn't eat it.
There's an abundance of zostera nigricaulis around my area. I think I'll give it a try. If he eats it, it's no big loss :)
