    i am trying to figure out what other large fish i would like to get, i can only pick one so i dont get too cramped (even though i plan on upgrading again in a year or 2) and i was wondering if anyone has had any luck with any of the foxfaces and not having them eat their corals and if so which...i know with all fish its a crapshoot, but i figure if it more the 50% of the populace i may take the chance while i have corals i wouldnt mind loosing (plus i have doubles or triples of most anyway from fragging) i have heard good things about the foxface lo and the magnificent, but i would like 1st hand accounts.

    Thanks everyone!

    Hardy. Playful. Awesome fish. Never touched coral except to steal the food from my Sun Coral.

    As with my pigmy angels, I kept him well fed with a varied diet and he never touched a coral or invert.

    I've had both lo and magnificents and they were both model citizens. Had another magnificent and caught him nibbling an acan. I don't think it would have done much damage but I had some pretty expensive acans at the time and didn't want to chance it so he was banished.

    I love my guy he is always picking at the rockwork, the only thing I would tell you is that mine in particular was a bit aggressive with my naso when I first introduced him, same with my tomini but after a while they got used to each other ;)
