What do foxface fish eat?

Hi!
I just got a foxfish and saw that they can eat Fresh Veggies, but I wasn't sure what exactly? What do you feed your foxface fish that's good?

Pretty much anything.

Feed them algae pellets and frozen fish foods.

nori is good, yes but the algae max pellets are better. Less messy

Mine eats everything I put in the tank. He never stops eating. I feed dry food, misys shrimp... 2 ways.. I also keep some garlic flavored seaweed skins in the tank almost all the time... he is always eating that! He also like to peck on my rock... peck on the sand... I have copepods going in my tank. I am pretty sure he eats those to! Lol

Decide how much you want to feed him based on what needs to be eaten. If you have algae on the rocks your clean up crew isn’t getting to... then cut back and make him eat that. no worries on the foxface food! They are easy.

Mine is the best herbivore of all time. Great on bubble algae.

Most LFS have it, but really, you can get it at almost any grocery store for half the price : ) just google is so that you’ll recognize the packaging. : )

Algae, nori are staples of their diet. Also feed some meaty foods. From everything I’ve read, easy fish to feed.

Julian Sprung’s Sea Veggies, Hikari Algae Wafers, Hikari Mega Marine Algae, Ocean Nutrition Formula-2 (flakes and pellets), Ocean Nutrition Spirulina Flakes, nori will do the job.

Then, supplement with whatever meaty foods you can offer.

Exactly as stated for me. My Foxface loves to eat. I feed him Julian Sprung’s Sea Veggies, but he also loves LRS Reef Frenzy I feed for my other fish.
