The foxface is peaceful and adds a beautiful color to the tank. I’ve kept it in a 60-gallon reef tank with caution, and it hasn’t eaten any of the soft corals. It’s active but not aggressive. Only monitor for small invertebrates.

Grew to about 8 inches and stays calm. Tank is 65 gallons. I noticed it occasionally nips at a small anemone, so I moved it away. Otherwise, it’s a good addition to a mixed community.

Very satisfied with the size and color. The fish is active and doesn’t stress other tankmates. I’ve observed it in a 70-gallon tank with corals and it’s been stable for over six months.
