What You Feed: Nori, pellets, mysis

The foxface is my favorite fish of all time. Try peaceful and love to swim. Mine is a shy little guy. They love to eat nori and algae. Mine rarely picks for algae unlike my other tangs. They are venomous and will throw there spikes up when scared.

What You Feed: Mysis and seaweed

A great algea eater good community fish. Loves to swim and will change color when in threat. Is poisonous. Fox Face needs more attention as it can easily hide and stress out. Qt process is straight forward. The addition of the fox face brings more color to the tank and plays a role with algea control!

I really enjoy the bright yellow appearance of the foxface. This fish can be fairly skittish and get spooked easily. This is a great fish for algae control.
