fox face and yellow tang?

Has anyone housed these two fish together? Can they live in the same tank and would it be wise to even attempt it?
Any info would be great, Thanks

ive got both in the same tank. i had the tang for about a month before the FoxFace, and they were almost the same size. they get along great, they eat side by side and no aggression is ever shown.

I would say go for it, but only if your tank is big enough for the two of them.

The foxface can get pretty big. The yello tang stays smaller. If added at the same time ypu should be fine if not i would add foxface after the tang. Always add least aggressive fish to the most agressive for best results.GL

Hawaiian Yellow Tang 7"-8" max.
FoxFace 7"-8" max.
i agree to have enough room for them as they get older the may become aggressive towards each other or other fish.
mine are about 2 years old and around 4"-4 1/4" each.

Thanks for all the feedback. There is a guy on our local forum selling one from 25 bucks but I wanted to check before I bought.
Thanks again

Mine both eat together and swim side to side sometimes. My foxface Is a little shy towards other tank mates for some reason. It allmost seems like Its seeks protection from the yellow tang, pretty weird.
