foxface lo in a reef tank?

[art13]

Anyone have any experiences with them in a reef tank and can chime in? long story short i either have to add it to my reef tank or sell him, i'd prefer to keep him. Mostly sps with a couple softies and lps.

I herd they like lps and zoas my buddy had one in his reef tank and it wipe out all the zoas in one night

 

[art13]

I'm not concerned about zoa's, more so sps and i might have a few lps in the tank.

They can go either way. I have one now that doesn't touch anything.

Think i'll give it a shot then, i've been reading they can go either way as well, not gonna hurt at this point.

I have a Orange Spotted Rabbitfish in my tank, perfect citizen, don't bother a single thing. They do like to eat though.

Mine is a gentleman...gets lots of nori...

It's quite rare for these guys to eat corals but mine did eat a hammer.

I would avoid at all costs. I just trapped my magnificent fox face. He was nipping at every SPS, all day long. They are far from reef safe!

I had a magnificent foxface in my SPS dominated reef for many years. Model citizen.

 

[art13]

i guess it could go either way with this guy then, but i'm also debating on a moorish idol in there, i'm not sure which one would have a higher chance of nipping.

I would avoid the foxface. They can be hit or miss, they also can be well behaved for a while and then start picking on corals.

No moorish idle much higher chance and you need a 180 for them.
