I’ve had my foxface for six months now and it’s very peaceful. It doesn’t bother the corals, though I do keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t eat any small polyps. The tank is 75 gallons and it’s thriving. Great addition to a reef setup with proper monitoring.

The fish is active but calm. I noticed it occasionally nibbles on a small anemone, so I’ve moved it slightly away. Otherwise, it’s a good fit in my 60-gallon tank. I appreciate the clear size guidance in the description.

This foxface has been a stable presence in my tank. It’s not aggressive and doesn’t cause any issues with the reef community. I’m happy with the size and temperament. Only recommend careful observation of invertebrates.
