Are Foxface coral eaters

[Deep Reef]

Has anyone had issues with a Foxface nibbling on their lps corals?

Never had mine touch any . Mine was great on getting rid of red bubble algae!

I had one decimate my ricordia collection.

Thinking about getting one. But I had a flame angle that attacked my corals and I lost almost everything and I don't want to go through that again

Will these eat green bubble algae?

If you get a fox face get the one spot one I think it's called, from my research these are the most likely to not eat coral

They won't if you keep them well fed. They pretty much eat anything when they are hungry.

OMG- How ironic- I just finished reading the RC TOTM winner article and he mentions NOT getting Foxface cause as they mature they eat coral.

I would have otherwise agreed with most here since I have only had one, never touched my corals, and only got rid of it cause it, got too big, AND was always "freaked out". Anything scared him and he darted back and forth. I felt he scared everyone else, so i caught him and traded.

My foxface loved to eat zoanthids and sometimes nipped at my Duncan.
