Foxface Lo...

[nm reef]

...got this guy from our host on Wednesday. It still is very skittish but he's been out most of the day according to the wife and son. Any time anybody gets near the display he'll dart behind the overflow...but at least he's out and about. The coloration is off a bit because I approached the display and alarmed him...his coloration has been excellant in the past hour that I've watched him. Every time one of the other fish approachs him he'll flash his dorsal fins and go vertical in a very threatening manner....very kewl fish in my opinion. The pic isn't the best but I wanted to show off my new reef dweller that SWF sent...as time goes by I'll try to get a few more.....

great fish, mine was also very skittish for a month or so-- now he eats outta my hand. That damn spine gets a little to close sometimes. Kinda of a pig but overall mine has lots of personality. Enjoy!!!!!

tang - yep, he is

Yup...that he is. Kewl to watch him extend his spine and adopt his aggressive posture whenever the other fish get too close.One added benefit is now I know for certain nobody here is gonna go stickin' their hands in my reef. The wife and daughter especially....VENOM!!!!!!!!!!

Kewl pic NM reef. I took a chance yesterday when I went to aquarilease and got a Niger Trigger for my reef tank hes about 2 1/2 inches and and has made himself at home. the clown has grabbed his tail a couple of times to get him away from his hole in the rock home.

Niger is a very kewl fish inits own right....I've also got one from aquarilease. Its been in my fish only for about 9 months now. Hes been a outstanding addition and a model citizen.

Yeller...thats the same reason I got mine. So far it has started to come out more often and seems to be adjusting. I have seen my hippo dart at him a few times and my coral beauty seems agitated a bit...but I'm hopefull they'll all learn to peacefully co-exist. A few times today I've seen the foxface nipping at the largest patch of byropsis algae...and that was the primary reason for getting him.

yeah the more that I read on them I thought why not I can always setup ANOTHER tank for him if he starts going after the corals LOL ..
but so far he has been great X fingers crossed ..
