...got a 3" foxface lo from the host here today...I've looked at several large ones locally for a while now. This one from SWF is excellant. This is the first fish I have ever considered from a on-line source...and to my pleasent suprise its looking healthy and in great condition.
It was added a few hours ago and was very skittish at first. color was way off and it hid behind the rockwork. Just for the past 20-30 minutes its been out checking the new neighborhood...coloration is close to full. So far the coral beauty seems to be the most interested...the hippo and tomato just cruise by...the coral beauty seems to be sayin..."Who's the new kid?"
Hopefully this guy will contribute in a positive manner and develope a taste for brysopis and valonia. That is the primary reason I wanted to find one...plus the coloration is a good contrast to my other fish.
Ya'all don't worry about him or the hippo for that matter growing too big for my display. I'm very confident the filtration can handle the bio-load...I'm confident the angel/clown/tang/rabbitfish will peacefully co-exist...and there is no doubt the display will be much larger long before any of these guys develope problems from lack of space.
As soon as I can I'll try to get a few pics of the dude...so far though its lookin' good.:cool:

Not a coral...a foxface lo(rabbitfish)...he's still a little shy and skittish....doesn't come out much yet. My hope is it will help eradicate some bryopsis and maybe even some valonia. Outstanding fish......but the verdict is still out.

We've had our foxface for several weeks now and we love him.
He's still somewhat skittish and will change color and hide behind rocks or under our hammer coral if startled... but he's slowly getting bolder and staying out more.
Good luck with yours!

thats the reason I havent got one I cant find one that looks healthy and full enough for me to get. I have seen some but outrageous priced so I passed sooner or later I will find one.
