What corals will Foxface leave alone??

[italquam]

I have a 5 inch Foxface in a 100 gallon, i am wondering what type of corals are best to have with a Foxface fish??

Many report no problems with them nibbling on any corals. I was able to report the same with my Magnificent Foxface for the first year. Since then, he's devoured acans, trachys and a wellso. I'm in the process of building a new 210g that will be primarily SPS. He's moving there once that tank is ready since I would like the 185g he's in now to be LPS dominant...his favorite.

Sps better to keep

Sps better to keep

Sodo you think SPS corals is better to keep with him

I have a Foxface in a mixed reef. I've never noticed him nipping at LPS. That said, many have issues. Keep him well fed and he won't go looking. Mine does seem to like to nip at palys, but he doesn't for long.

yeah ive never seen my foxface touch anything. I have couple different lps, zoas, and a big monti cap

My Foxes have never touched any of my coral but I have no sps's so I can not vouch for that!

I've had my foxface 2 years and I've never seen him touch anything and I have a fully packed mixed reef. I do feed my tank 3 times a day.

I have had a FF in a primarily LPS reef for about 6 years. He has never bothered anything except for a few zoanthids in the past. He ignores shrooms, yumas, acans, favias, frogspawns, hammers, etc.

what would you guys recommedn as the first coral to introduce?

 

[kingfisher62]

I would start with some colorful mushrooms, they are pretty hardy and grow fast ,comes in avariety of colors.

Nice mushrooms Kingfisher, i am gonna give those a try and see how it goes.

What is the best way to acclimate the mushrooms??

 

[kingfisher62]

I usually float the bag in the tank to to get the right temp and then just take them out and place them low in the tank .Do not place the water in the bag in your tank , it can become a toxic soup especially if they are shipped. Then if they do well you can gradually move them higher and closer to the light if you want. They do not need a lot of light so keeping them low is probably better and let them climb and spread on their own.

Some people would recommend dipping in "coral RX" to rid the coral of pests or quarantining them for a couple of weeks.

I have to admit I have never done that though.
