Yes, they eat greens. Don't quote me on this, but I think they are classified in some books as a tang. Don't quote me! hehe:thinking:

Foxface is related in the Rabbitfish family and eats brine shrimp. I fed mine brine and he loved it!

We have had our Foxface for almody 4 yrs now, and we feed him a blend of Herbivore and Carnivore diets and he loves them both (he also gets a little bit of Nori for a snack and he tears it up!)...make sure he gets enough vegitation and he will do great. They seem to make pretty good tankmates because they mind their own business, but I have never kept one with a Yellow tang. Also, be careful, they are venomous.

Our foxface is (by his own choice) a complete herbivore. He tears up the algae sheets we put into the tank, but almost never goes after the meaty foods we put in there for the other fish.
We have also kept a foxface and a yellow tang together for months with no problem. There was some posturing at first, but now they almost school together.
