I have a Black foxface--my yellow tang bother him for 2-3 days bacause of his yellow back half--no they eat side by side--first night i had him i thought he died--he was in the rocks and a very pale white, but when the lights come on in the morning his color comes right back--no one bothers him and he does not bother any one--but he sure does like to eat---lol--i say a good choice.!!

Never really been a big fan.
On top of that, they're venomous? Double no-thanks.

 

[deejeff442]

do you put garlic on the food?
they go nuts for that stuff.
i have had a couple close calls with the foxface sticking me.
when i put my hand in the tank he usually hides but once in a while i dont see where he is and he is at the top and jumps to hide and comes close.
nothing a couple beers wouldnt fix.

I love my Foxy!

i'll grab a pic when i can... it's tough cause i'm mostly getting home when the lights are just back to actinics.
as for the venomous... ehh, the foxface has rubbed itself up against my arm like a pet does. supposedly it only hurts a little

Yeah mostly like a bee sting, but can still be pretty painful.
Here is one of mine with the mystery wrasee too,

yeah, mine would rub against me like wanting to be petted. Its venomous if it tip breaks the skin (like when it killed my toadfish). I had it worse with my maroon than the fox, he never really runs up to you, he kinda lulls over, though when scared they go into crazy get away mode and anything can happen.

I'd say yes!! I just ordered a Magnificent Foxface last night!! Can't wait to get it!!

I'll let you know in a few days...

From what i've been told, most people have no problem with them as long as they are well fed.
