Will a Foxface Lo and a Magnificent Fox get along in the same tank? Its a 125 with plenty of room.

I wouldn't recommend it. They are usually only aggressive towards other rabbitfish and sometimes with some tangs. Besides, you are putting two very heavy feeders in the same tank. You've never seen a fish eat until you've seen a foxface tear through a big piece of Nori in one sitting. Two big feeders means two times as much waste going into the tank.

OK, I'll just split them up between the two tanks.

I have one in both of my tanks. You won't see much bubble algae in those tanks.

I have a FOX face and he is a PIG...........Eats right out of my hands and greedy, greedy, greedy.
He has a great personality though.
I like him a lot.

They are usually very shy when first introduced to a tank. They'll run and hide when you walk in front of the tank. Over time they get to be a lot more outgoing.

Ditto. Ours also will come to the side of our tank where we sit and lay on the sand bottom to "hang out" with us - no kidding. He also will change his colors to what I call his giraffe look so he thinks he's blending in.
