The foxface is a beautiful addition to my 60-gallon reef tank. It’s peaceful and doesn’t bother the corals, though I did notice it occasionally nibbling on small polyps. After a few weeks, it settled into a calm routine and looks healthy.

I bought this fish for a mixed reef setup. It’s active but not aggressive. The size is within the expected range, and it’s easy to maintain. Just keep an eye on the smaller invertebrates.

Great choice for intermediate reef keepers. The fish is colorful and stays calm. It has adapted well to the tank environment and shows no signs of stress.
