| foxface fish with corals? 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.

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 . _________ Some of the world's greatest feats were accomplished by people not smart enough to know they were impossible (Doug Larson) |
