|  Question About The Foxface
What is, that almost clear film, that the foxface sheds every now and then? Could it be its venom? I've seen it before but didnt know where it was coming from until today. Anyone? _________ 9YR OLD 90G 30G w/d Mag18 150G skimmer 692w MH,yel&kole tang,foxface,midas&convict blenny,B&G chromies,Blk/yel fin chromie blackcap,nemo,neon goby,6line; Blastomussa Merleti,Acan ,BUBBLE,Torch,LTA, Goniopora(2), Acropora(2),Brain, Moon, assort zoas, yel& G star polyps, R&G open brain, P&B ricordia, montiporas, cup&candy corals, enias,B/G mush,flower ane(2), cherry red mussa, dusters,cleaning crew

I have one too and have noticed this....from all of my research they produce a slime which helps protect them against infections and stuff. But they will shed this ever so often.......Hope this helps.

Is that from the Foxface? No s*&t!! I didn't know that. I thought my snails made that stuff. My foxface eats it if it's floating around....hmmmm... strange! _________ Got Questions? Need Answers?
