never owned a foxface, are they easily spooked?

He was a bit shy at first but is all over the place now. He follows me as I go around the tank. Not a big fan of the glass cleaning magnet though. They will change color to blend in when they are nervous.

been doing some research magnicent FF don;t seem to reef safe Not than any hungry fish is reef safe LOL :bounce3:
I had a regal, asfur and goldflake in my 450 in the past only thing they ate was my zoos
I am sure in a smaller tank it might be a problem

Alot of people have luck with emerald crabs. They never did the trick for me but my tangs all eat it now (I had to train them) I have a Black, Lavender, and Tomini. Unfortunately though the tomini and lavender eat clams too..........
