Yep, mine cleaned up an orange sponge that was taking over a corner of my tank.Mine doesn’t mess with any corals… loves to eat sponges thou of all things..
Picking / biting / nipping at any chunky meat coral is like a fighting word haha.I tried 4 different foxface, and they all eventually picked at my trachyphyllia.
Picking was being nice. They would continue to consume flesh until the trachy would recede and die. I’ve lost a lot of trachy’s due to foxface fish. If course I never realized it was the foxface and I would spin my wheels with testing and chemistry until I would by luck catch the fish in the act.Picking / biting / nipping at any chunky meat coral is like a fighting word haha.
Just can’t trust em. Too bad they didn’t eat Xenia or Kenya tree. No no no. They go after the expensive trachys and donuts
Your exact situation mirrors what happened to me yesterday. Thought it was parameters off but all other corals looked great. Then literally seen him take a bite.Picking was being nice.

The foxface would hover around the trachy corals, but the nipping would be very indiscreet. Once you see it you can’t unsee it.
The acantho is missing a quarter sized chunk and the cynarina in this pic is destroyed.Picking was being nice. They would continue to consume flesh until the trachy would recede and die.
