My new Koran had been picking at my Foxface and got his butt kicked by my Foxface. My Koran ended up with a Popeye for about a week and a half. They are doing fine now and the Koran has healed nicely.

Plus, evidently they can kick butt! :lol:
I've never kept a Foxface - maybe I'll consider one next time I have a vacancy.
Yah my Foxface has some nice personality, I got one a long time ago and it has slowly grown to some nice porky purportions, you definately can see the bulge in the sides He's actually about 7 inches long now and has gotten longer than my Naso tang, although the Naso still got the surface area

How do you feed yor foxface? Mine is a little bit thin, does not like nori (just nip a it when I'm looking, when I go and later come back, the nori is intact), don't touch frozen, just loves to eat spectrum pellets, and some caulerpa racemosa I give him infrequently (at this pace I'll run out of caulerpa soon).

Well my foxface is quite the pig, and isn't very picky (lucky for me) it will eat just about anything green, most caulerpas except razor I've witnessed him eatting proliferia, feather & grape (he really goes bonkers over this stuff and pick off each grape as he's eatting, then goes back for the stem), he eats chaeto, he'll eat nori, I don't have any algae issues in this tank turf, hair, bubble, etc I assume this is a direct result of the foxface (because I'm not that ontop of keeping my tank maintained/waterchanged ), he'll eat meaty foods I learned this once when I used to feed my hermit crabs occasionally a piece of silverside and the foxface (and strangely enough also the Kole Tang) would grab the piece and gum the hell out of it. Typically when I do my daily feedings I put some mysid shrimp in a ziplock baggy, toss some tankwater in and float that in the tank so the food can reach tank temperature then I slowly dump it out into the tank as the powerheads swirl it around the tank, and my foxface knows this routine well, so much infact he'll swim right up to the bag instead of waiting for the food to come to him he swims halfway into the ziplock bag and chows down like crazy.
Now did I do anything special to train him? Nope, think its just its personality. I mean somepeople will eat anything others are picky as hell, you can't tell either with fish.
Guy: ahem? Lagoon? Saltwater one?

Thank you guys...
I'm begining to think he might be ill, cause I've seen him release some transparent / whitish liquid from his annus, that later you can see floating around the tank as a very delicate film, like it was a small piece of scotch tape floating in the tank.
Have you heard something like this?
by the way.... beautiful tank Guy!!!!!
