Foxfaces and Rabbit fish sometimes will eat soft corals, like Zoas and Mushrooms. It's hit or miss but it can and does happen.

I believe there are 2 types of yellow foxface. 1 is reef safe the other is "with caution"? Not sure but worth looking into.

Actually all are "with caution", acording to Live Aquaria.

that's like trading a black eye for a black eye lol..same type of thing is going to happen with both fish. To the OP..rabbitfish are def not reef safe they will always pick at stuff like zoas and brains a lot of other fish do as well people just don't realize. I have seen tangs and other reef safe fish pick at brains and acans. It's always good to keep your fish well fed as well because sometimes when they are hungry they try new things and sometimes they like it..just like people.
