Hello maastards I was wondering if any of you have a foxface rabbitfish in a reef? The reason I ask is I really like them but my app says they may pick at soft corals. And also does anyone here have a handful of chaeto they can crop out of there tank when they run a clean up? I lost mine when I moved I guess my water was to clean or something because it dwindled away 2 months ago.

I have some friends with foxfaces in their tanks in Wisco, it really comes down to the fish, I have heard of tangs that eat coral, and triggers that only eat prepared food. I would do chaeto if it was farther down the road, just got my first handful about a month ago. If you do not get anything from anybody else I will get you some in a couple weeks.

I had a gold spot rabbit for a time... he started out fine but after a month (When he ran out of readily available sponges to nibble on) he all but wiped out a couple colonies of Zoa's. beautiful fish - broke my heart it didn't work out.
