Adrian Butler –
The foxface has been thriving in my 60-gallon tank for three months. It’s peaceful and doesn’t bother the corals, though I’ve noticed it occasionally eats small crustaceans. Overall, a good addition to a reef setup with proper monitoring.
Frank Jackson –
I bought this fish for my reef tank and it’s been doing well. It’s active but not aggressive. I keep an eye on the smaller invertebrates, and it’s not a major issue. The size is within the expected range.
