Yes, they are primarily herbivors and should leave your shrimp and other critters alone. | |

That fish gets pretty large and maybe too big for a 135L tank which is about 35g if I'm not mistaken.

Are you getting the Foxface for your hair algae problem or cos it's there?If it's for algae I still recomend a scopas tang.Half the size and very efficient. | |

Lawn mower blennies as well as several other blennies, rainford gobies (will eat hair algae), Kole tang and yellow tangs don't get as big. About 17cm or 7" but the tangs will eventually out grow the tank. | |
