you didn't have an issue with them jumping out of your tank?

I could use some help in identifying (AND ELIMINATING) this recent red / brownish algae outbreak. The tank is well established (2 1/2 years) The substrate is crushed coral. I do have 10-12 snails and a dozen or so hermits. Really the only thing that has changed is what I feed my coral. I began...

Thanks for all the replies....Are they difficult to feed?

When I first bought ours, he would hide whenever I walked up to the tank. Now he's out and about and begs for food.

I recently bought a foxface...same behavior pattern. Mine really loves the nori seaweed sheets...after a week, mine is still funky about the light being turned on, but quickly regains his color. Really cool fish....gets along great with my cinnamon clown and pearlscale angel

yes

I hope that this topic will produce some great ideas. I have a 72 gal. system set up as well as a QT. I have an extra 20 gal (long) tank with a simple hang on filter. I would be interested to hear any ideas for what do do with this 20 gal. Thanks in advance for the ideas and suggestions

A foxface is a nice choice for yellow. They are hardy and beautiful. Be careful, they are also venemous, but get along well with their tankmates. Require a green diet. Good luck
