Fox face issue

[polarbear]

So just recently I noticed my fox face eating some of my zoas. I thought it was just picking at the rock the zoas are on but today I saw it actually eat the zoa off the rock. Has anyone had this problem? How can it be fixed?

yes foxface are not very reef safe, you cant make a fish stop doing any bad habits. catch him and sell it or take to lfs

i have had three different rabbitfish (foxface, magnificent and scribble) that each decided to start eating corals when they grew to be about 4" long. like chris said, once they get a taste for corals, there is no going back.

[polarbear]

Ya he's about that big and has just started doing it. How can I catch him

[hobogato]

put his favorite coral food into a fish trap.

[polarbear]

Thanks. Does anyone have a fish trap that I can borrow?

I had an issue with a fox face that devoured a 4" brain in about a day and a half. I was sooooo bummed :( The fox face are only in my FOWLR from now on!
