Foxface Lo (Siganus vulpinus) with SPS

[DogueDeBordeaux]

What has been your experience with the foxface lo, and sps?
I have searched, and only found 1 person that said it nibbled on some sps corals. There were a few that had problems with softies and zoos.

I have never had issues with one. They are great macro algae eaters also. I have mine in a mixed 120 with lots of SPS, clam, LPS, and softies. Great fish that earns his keep.

Me too nothing but a model citizen, my foxface has has no interest in either my SPS or even LSP. From what I have heard that if you don't get a model citizen then they mainly nip at LPS and leave SPS alone. I feel part of the reason my foxface is a model citizen is that he was in a quarantine tank for two months and he ate nothing but mysis, algae sheets, and flake food which always came from the top, so he really has no reason to look anywhere else for food. Just my 2 cents

I've seen them go after lps mostly...
Personally, I would not add one to my reef tank..

I have no problem with him(her ?). It is nice to have a powerful algae eating machine if it happen to be needed.

Mine never bothers anything, except sponges. If I move a piece of live rock and expose sponge ... He goes insane and gobbles it all up. Other than that ... I've never seen him nip at anything.
