I would like to add another fish befor my foxface gets to teritoral, I do not plan to have many fish 1 maybe 2 more, thoughts?

Maybe a Tang or some of the reef-safe wrasses

Would a powder brown tang be to much with the foxface as far a size. Long term

IMO, the Powder Brown is borderline for a 125. They can become jerks. Maybe take a look at the Mimic Tangs or Kole/Tomini/Whitetail Tangs.

I have the same size tank and had a fox face living with a large tomato clown and hippo tang. Everyone got along great.

My foxface could care less about any other fish in the tank. It just wants to eat all the time.

My blue throat trigger gets along well with my foxface, however, they may or may not eat your snails etc. Mine has not but I guess it is hit or miss.

My foxface and swallow tail angel seem to be pretty good buddies.

Mine is probably the same way however my wife said it needs a buddie so I'm not gonna argue.
I would like a sailfin but I think they need a 180 correct?
Thanks everyone for the info

I would second the kole or tomimi tangs. They would be perfect for a 125. A copperband butterfly or kleins butterfly or some flasher or fairy wrasses for movement or color would be nice for a125

We had a 125 and our Foxface hung out with a Kole and a Purple Tang. He was a bit bigger.

I'd say a tang would be good. Do NOT get another foxface: I fear that would not go well.

My foxface and sailfin tang are usually close in the tank, with the blue tang not far away.
