foxface rabbitfish & scribbled rabbitfish

[marylee]

I have 2 foxface fish that i don't want in my tank. If anyone wants them for their tank let me know. both about 6" great health, colors are very vibrant, and no torn fins. They both started nipping at corals so i need to get rid of them.

what are you feeding the scribbled rabbit fish? sometimes they start nipping coral when they run out of algae to eat. i want to get one cause i heard they eat bubble algae. did you find this to be true?

i give them a mix of ocean nutrition flakes formula 1 & 2, brine shrimp, and prime reef . then i give them 2 frozen krill every few days (which they love!!)
had a polyp rock that had 2 bubbles on it and they are both gone so ya they ate it.
if you have any type of cleaner shrimp or small neon goby consider it lunch.
i bought a few shrimp and they ate them ... rrrrrrr
thats another reason i want them out .

bummer. i want one but not one that eats coral (of course). i got shrimp too. Like i say I haven't kept one but I hear that if you give them a sheet of nori they might stay away from the coral. just an idea.

ya i have tried that they don't care for the sheets .
