The Foxface, also known as the Foxface Rabbitfish, has a very unique body colour. It has a mottled yellow-brown body with a dark chest. The face is very light in colour and speckled on the lower half. They are a very hardy fish, and are great additions to the newly-established tank. It may reside in a 570L or larger aquarium. It is a very peaceful species except when housed with other rabbitfish. The Foxface may be housed with more aggressive fish. Its predators will tend to leave it alone because of its venomous dorsal spines. Rabbitfish are generally reef-safe if they are well fed. If not, it is possible for them to nip at and consume some species of LPS and soft corals.
The Foxface diet consists of a variety of fresh vegetables and undesirable species of algae. It does nip and possibly eat some soft and hard coral polyps.
