Foxface Lo (Foxface Rabbitfish)
The Foxface Lo, also known as the Foxface Rabbitfish, has a very unique body color. It features a mottled yellow-brown body with a dark chest. The face is light in color and speckled on the lower half.
This is a hardy fish ideal for newly-established aquariums. It can thrive in a 125-gallon or larger tank. While generally peaceful, it may display aggression when kept with other rabbitfish. It can coexist with more aggressive fish due to its venomous dorsal spines, which deter predators.
The fish is reef-safe when well-fed. However, if not properly fed, it may nip at and consume certain LPS and soft corals.
Diet includes a variety of fresh vegetables and undesirable algae species.

Easy to care for and very active in the tank. The coloration is striking and stands out. I’ve kept it for six months with no issues. Feeds well on blanched spinach and algae wafers. Works well in a 150-gallon tank with other peaceful fish.

The fish looks beautiful with its mottled pattern. It’s calm most of the time and doesn’t bother the corals. I feed it daily with spinach and spirulina. A good addition to a beginner’s tank.

It’s a nice-looking fish, but I noticed it occasionally nibbles on a soft coral after a few weeks. I now feed it more frequently to prevent this. Still, it’s a peaceful fish overall.
