It's a Magnificent Foxface (Siganus magnifica). I got him real cheap too. It was a lucky find. I hope he cleans up my tank. My purple tang has let me down on eating. He seems to like waiting for me feed the tank.

If its green, its a pretty good bet a faoxface will it. Expect him to be pretty shy at first. They are great for bubble algae. If you have a hard time getting him to eat at first, try leaving some Nori on a clip. He'll suck it down like sphagetti.

He seems to be doing good. He was eating my triggers food this morning. He started snacking around the tank later today. The purple tang gave him a hard time the first day. They seem to be getting along now.

Well I found the foxface stuck one of the powerheads when I got back from MAAST meeting. Dead!

He was in good health, I guess he was picking the stuff off it and got caught.

Well that certainly blows chunks,,,, That was a beautifull fish. It must have been one hell of a powerhead to suck him up! Did the PH have a screen on it? What kind was it? Is it possible that the fish died and then floated into the PH? I friggin hate powerheads.....

That sucks. I lost a real nice flamehawk to one. Did it happen to be a hagen 802? Mine was, since then I have put a filter attachment to it. I feel the pain. Sorry

He was in great shape Sun morning. It's a AquaClear 802. It needs some kind of tube on it with slits.
