Question Thinking of adding FoxFace To SPS/Clam tank?

Im gather info on the FoxFace exp:

I am thinking adding a small (2") foxface to my 225 SPS/clam tank. Do SPSers keep these in thier tanks?

Are there any problems with this?

Seems like I remember reading somewere that they could be problematic, but can remember what the issue was?

thanks

Mine's no trouble at all in my mixed tank. There are plenty of SPS corals and 3 clams to munch on but it's shown no interest in them at all.

I'm sure that your aware that these fish get big and get big really fast. Mine started out as a tiddler and now 2 years later he/she's a solid 7"+ in length.



An eating machine!

Regards

Lisa

I have a Siganus uspi (Fiji foxface) that bothers nothing...SPS, LPS, other fish...nothing.

I had one in a SPS tank. Never bothered anything. That fish had personality.
