you could get them at your lfs, i guess you would sya they have the same requirments as a tang, i've seen them listen as tangs. so in my book i'd say they were, alot of people sa 6 feet is perfect.. unless you can get more, ross on this board has an 84 gallon tank that is 6 feet long

foxface make a great reef fish they are vary similar to tangs as sated except that they are less aggressive they do need about a daily feeding of seaweed as stated and will also need regular food once a day such as mysis shrimp or brine but preferily brine if he is big enough to eat it
they are fairly hardy but remember they are poisonious on ther top dorsal spines and there sting isnt fun so be careful

My fox face will eat flake, krill (frozen) squid (frozen) . seems to not be a picky eater, really likes the seaweed sheets excellent coloration after eating it

They are Herbivores and need a Herbivore diet. Formula two, algae sheets, macro algae, etc. Like tangs they are prone to HLLE so make sure his diet needs are met.

I would feed him some brine shrimp, if you have algae in your tank and he is eating it, I wouldnt feed him the sheets of algae til your algae is gone.

I have one in my 55gal. He seems happy. Mine eats anything I feed the others. He loves nori. The stuff you wrap sushi with. You can get it cheap at an asian market. Make sure its not flavored.A fox face will clean out any plants you try to keep in the tank.
