Foxface

Can anyone tell me what a positive enviornment would be for this fish? Also, what's the difference between a Foxface and a Rabbit Fish--don't they look the same?

Foxface are related to tangs, and need a good bit of swimming space. Thus, a 125 would be an appropriate tank size for one.
Foxfaces and rabbits are related. Foxfaces are usually seen as yellow (unless it is a magnificient). Rabbitfish are usually moreso a schooling fish, or a fish that does better in pairs. Here are some pics to compare and contrast.

Lion Crazz,
Thanks for the response. I thought you'd have to push 100g for a foxface, you just validated my suspicions. One is in my future, just distant future at this point. I've seen them in reef tanks and assume they are "reef safe". I even remember Bangguy having one in his lagoon commenting on how fast they are....if my memory is correct.
Thanks for the input and pictures as well.
