Foxface Rabbit Fish, are they reef safe?

[Circa]

Some people have said know other people say yes. I was wondering if some people could enlighten me one what their experience has been with these fish.

Thanks,
Circa

They are primarily herbivores. Mine it's seaweed, brine, mysis, and the formulas. He is very hearty. Like a tang in diet but not in terms of ich. Nice fish for a reef.

No problems. Mine also had a calming effect on the other inhabitants or they all just started to find their niche when it was introduced. My foxface and Maroon clown "hang out" when the clown is not in the anemone.

Ive had two in my reef for over a year and never had any problems with them, aside from being kinda shy(except around dinner time).

I’ve kept a foxface in a reef for about 3 years (LPS, leathers, button polyps, GSP, zooanthids, shrooms) and it’s behaved most of the time. There have been instances where I’ve come home from work to find a group of button polyps gnawed down to stubs, or sat and watched as it took a couple of nips at an LPS. The polyps grew back, and its interest in any particular LPS was short-lived.
