[viet-tin]

Anyone have any experience with these? IM think I want to get one of these

rabbitfishes are poisonous, and this one gets up to 9 inches..

I have one. Exact same requirements & behavior as a Foxface.

The one im looking at is about 3-4". HOw fast do these grow bang? Are these a good and hardy fish? I really like the colors.

 

[bang guy]

I acquired mine early last year at 3". It's now 6"+

 

[viet-tin]

HOw is he with other fish inverts and corals? Thanks for your time bang

He's very docile and even gets along with a Yellow Tang.

I had one that mowed down my xenia's. He was removed from my reef.
Sometimes chit happens.

Thats the same exact reason why the person im buying this fish from is giving his up.

I dealt with a similar species that took a liking (way too much of a liking) to nibbling on giant clam mantles.

 

[viet-tin]

Hopefully it will leave my future clams alone. Thanks for the heads up

 

[viet-tin]

Do you think they will eat other corals?

 

[bang guy]

Jeepers. I guess I've been really lucky.

The one im getting chows down on xenia which i dont plan on getting but hopefully like the previous owner says thats the only thing he likes to eat.

Motohead brought one back to our store. It took out his zoos...cleaned the rock free of them.

 

[viet-tin]

well according to the seller he say xenia is the only thing he messes with. Im hoping that when i have him in my tank he wont miss the xenia and start eating other corals.

I was pretty shocked when I realized he was the problem. But after watching him awhile, he would just wander by looking pretty innocent and nip nip nip. Have some nice pics of big big clams with little nips in the mantle. Then they would get kind stressed out and after awhile longer, well Of course he was in a 3500g reef and didn't come out until the tank was drained. I had one "Hail Mary" shot at him with a net but a dim witted vlamingi got in the way. Lost many huge clams...we also had terrible problems keeping any sort of polyps in there but couldn't say it was him for sure. He was in there quite some time before anything started though.

What are the effects of thier posion on humans? serious or just a irratent to the skin?

 

[bang guy]

Identical to a Lionfish Sting in effect and intensity.

What are the best type of golves to wear when working in a tank that contains anomenes and these types of fish?
