    Does anyone have or know someone with a foxface fish with corals in the tank. I plan on only having Zoa's and other soft corals in the tank. Can I have a foxface or will it disturb the corals?

    There great fish for a reef tank. They won't bother your corals and are great at eating algae.

    As long as they are well fed, they will leave corals alone. Luna

    They make a wonderful reef biotope addition... Just be careful of their venomous spines on their fins!!!

    We have a rabbit and had a rabbit also got rid of him he was a eating hog in our aquarium . I've always have kept them for algae control . Totally safe in a reef aquarium as for the venomous spines about like a bee sting to me anyways But I have only had 2 to stick me so its not a daily occurrence .
