My foxface is a great community/reef fish. The only draw back is that he will eat ANY macro, including chaetomorpha.

I have a Foxface in both of my tanks. You'll never have to worry about bubble algae or Bryopsis. I had a small outbreak and that's why I got them after I gave up on emerald crabs.

They are fairly shy in the beginning but are great eaters and low maintenance fish. They will eat just about anything. I've seen mine suck down a large piece of nori like it was spaghetti. I've never had a problem with them being poisonous. Just don't grab them.
