Foxface Lo's?

i love the look of these fish, but I really want to stay away from fish that kare known as reef safe "with caution" and I wanted to hear from some people that have had experience with this fish to ask and see how often it gives problems.
Thanks in advance,
Mark

My friend has kept a foxface for 2 years without problems. As long as it stays well fed it usually won't bother LPS or soft corals (his has never tried to eat nip at his corals).
Also, the spines are venemous but as long as the other fish don't harass it, that shouldn't be a problem. In fact, his foxface is very timid and has been pretty peaceful since he got it.

Mine is a year old in my tank and doesn't bother anything. If well fed and algae sheets once in awhile the are great.

+1 on adding to stock list.
i have been very undecided on getting one because of the "with caution" warnings but ive been hearing the same thing from most people that they are pretty peaceful and if fed will leave corals alone. now im going to get one for sure.
anyone have a suggestion on what order it should be added? im swaping my current tank into a new tank project ive been working on and i have a potters angle and clown that will be added from the old tank. i can hold off on moving them in for a little while if its recommend that i add the fox face first. do they have any territorial issues?
are you guys with the foxfaces keeping lo or one spots? would i be ok with either? because i really like the one spots more. that extra spot really does it for me.

Well, I was planning on getting a few feather dusters as well, I want the foxface better though so Ill be getting that beforehand and if when I get the feather dusters, they get nibbled on, ill take out the feather dusters. +1 on mkzimms questions as well
