Longnose butterfly vs foxface rabbit

[All Seas]

Looking to add a yellow fish to the tank and have narrowed it down to these two. Right now, I have a purple firefish, melanurus wrasse and a clown. Plan on adding a purple tang down the line.

I have a 90 gallon mixed reef and looking to keep my LPS and SPS entact.

Any advice?

Which species of long nose butterfly fish? There are two different species of yellow longnose butterflyfish: Forcipiger Flavisimus and Forcipiger Longirostris. F. Flavisimus is considered safe with corals but F. Longirostris is only somewhat safe with corals.

because of the coral I would go with the foxface. I have one and it never bothers my coral.

A foxface is not reef (coral) safe unless adequately fed.
