I’ve had my Metallic Foxface for six months now and it’s been a great addition to my reef tank. It’s very calm and doesn’t bother the corals. It constantly grazes on algae, which has helped keep the tank cleaner. Easy to care for and looks stunning with its bright yellow body and black markings.

The fish arrived healthy and has been active since setup. It’s peaceful and doesn’t chase other fish. I noticed it spends most of its time near the back wall where algae grows. It’s a good algae eater and fits well in the tank.
