Foxface Rabbitfish. Should it look dead????

[imaburch]

Hey everyone I have a quick ? about my Foxface. At night he is sitting on the bottom of the tank looking very DEAD, but when I turn on the lights his color comes back and starts moving around. I know that at night they go dormit or camo themselves, but he turns a nasty brown and all his fins are sticking out!!! Is this really normal???

my wife's exact quote the night she first saw him"What in the hell is in our tank, is it alive"?

well thanks for the info. I can't believe that he looks like death warmed over, yet he is just sleeping...

You should see her when she first wakes up whoa....j/k but if I was a fish I wouldnt want to look tasty when i was asleep.

when a fox face feels threated he will change colors and put his fins out.
