Foxface - Rabbitfish or Tang?

[sprieto]

I have seen on other web sites a "fox face" listed as a Rabbitfish.
However, on this site, it is under the Tang catagory.
Which is it?
Can one keep a foxface with other tangs?
I know some tangs can be kept together while others you can't (similar shapes are bad?).
What kind of Tang, if any, can the fox face be kept with?
Any opinions.......

It is a tang, that has poisoness spines on its top.

It is not a tang per se, it is a relative of the tang. It is in the rabbitfish family, not the surgeonfish family, but they are grouped in the same suborder. So instead of just leaving it on its own, its put under tangs. So it is more of a "cool fact" than anything else. It has no impact on whether it can be kept with tangs or not which, though relatives, have definite differences.
Foxface can be kept with tangs without issue. Just all comes down to tank size and certain other factors to determine what tangs you can keep, and whether you can keep a rabbitfish as well.
