    I am thinking about a Centerpiece fish for my 55g tank. The tank will consist of 2 Ocellaris Clownfish, 3 Lemon Chromis, 1 still to be decided bottom dweller, 2 Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp, 5 Red Scarlet Reef Hermit Crabs and a Blue Tuxedo Urchin. Is it possible to add a Foxface Lo to the tank?

    I've done most of my research on liveaquaria, And I've noticed some conflicting information, Such as the information in
    (LIST IS NEAR COMPLETION) Fish Ideas For A Tank of X Gallons [Official Thread]

    Not specifically related to the Foxface Lo but I've only used the liveaquaria tank sized in regards to the max size of the fish. But I appreciate the quick reply, would you recommend a different fish for the centerpiece?

    Do you have a specific color in mind?

    What about a Dwarf Angel?

    Ive thought about a dwarf angel, but it kind of restricts my options in terms of corals and clans further down the line. But who knows, I have all the time in the world to decide. Thank you for your suggestion.

    A lot of them are reef safe, I bought mine from an established reef, the guy had the angel with his corals and clams for 6 years, he was selling due to a tank break down.

    For every ten stories I hear about DA's being reef safe I have heard ten about them not. I would definitely look into other options as clams are much more likely to be nipped by these fish then corals but they are both in jepordy when an angel inhabits the tank.It is also not uncommon for these fish to be perfect cictizens for years and overnight go rogue.(Personally experienced this)If you have ever tried to catch one of these fish in a fully stocked tank you will quickly realise that it is just not worth the risk IMO.Also agree that a Foxface is not a good choice for a 55.
