Anyone know anything about this fish? I'm looking for a foxface or rabbitfish, and I really don't like the plain ol' foxface:

Can't remember where I saw one of those recently. May have been one of the LFS two Saturdays ago. I've always liked the Magnificent Foxface.

I know this as an orange spot rabbit fish. I had one and it ate on my leather toadstool. I have also heard that they can eat zoos. Not sure what they do with hard corals. Of course, every individual is different.

A week ago or so Aquadome had a couple of magnificents. They really are pretty and you can't beat the 'dome's prices.

If it would eat ONLY my leathers...

I know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I find Foxface's and even the Magnificents to be... Well. Ugly.

AKA the coral rabbitfish. I have one in my 120 gallon, it eats like a champ! It has cool color changing abilities. (looks like stone when scared)

I bought Headless Donkey's last week...first fish added to our 110 FOWLR tank. He's pretty cool...a little shy...nice coloring. We named him Bugs.

What I was looking at is NOT a magnificent.

In any case, thanks for all of the responses. I think I'm going to wait this out - I'm not sure I want to put any other risky fish in the the tank. I've got 2 now that are behaving themselves... Might just get another couple of hundred bluelegs.
