Picasso Trigger for Foxface?

[montecarloz38]

Hey guys, I finally decided to do a reef tank in my 65gallon. Obiously I cannot do it with a Picasso Trigger, but could I trade it in for a Fox Face?
I also have: Blue Tang, Clown, Yellow Damsel, Snowflake Eel; those should be no problem right?
Thank you.

According to this... Nope. Sorry.

It would be fine with your current fish but will outgrow your tank, as will the tang.

This has been bandied about various discussion boards for a while. Many people have 'em in reef tanks with zero problems, but some people have gotten the occasional devil fox who terrorizes every polyp-like object in sight.
The general consensus is that they are reef-compatible as long as you keep them well-fed. All rabbitfish, including foxfaces, like to graze on algae, and it should be a signifigant part of their diet. If you don't have enough algae on your LR, you should consider supplementing with nori sheet. Feed 'em well, and you'll probably be fine. Don't feed them, and they'll start picking at anything that looks tasty....including your corals.
This is all hear-say on my part, as I don't have one in my system. I *do* plan on getting one, however, after reading up on them. I'm hoping a fox can help with a turf algae problem I'm fighting right now!
