Yeah for a rabbit fish these guys are super skitty! Just leave him be, if you go poking him to see if he is alive he will slice the heck out of you and he is venomous. Speaking from experience, luckly I was able to yank my hand out of the tank before she got me but she tried. They only do that when stressed completely out of their mind!
Okay thank you so much for help and calming me down too lol. Yea the owner of LFS told me they was venomous. Glad yours didn’t sting you lol. Reminds me last summer when I got my blue hippo tang this one from petco well my nephew and my nieces had the tang in bag going to car as I was paying for it and as I go out the door my neohew and nieces coming back in his shirt soaked and leaking water out of bag the tang was stressed sliced bag in him lol

Ooo yikes! And yeah Im more scared of getting sliced by my foxface than stung by my lionfish if that tells you anything. Got poked by her when moving her, that hurt like a MF as it burned up my hand, so a slice… no no and no!

Hello I have well established aquarium and today biught fix face from reputable LFS and they had him tad over a week. My paremeters are fine. I brought him home and my tomato clown chased him once and that’s it. I know their skittish but he’s been in this spot last 3 hours or so after tomato clown chased him he was eating at the store just fine looked same color but eyes look funny to me and looks like dying he is moving find etc but just in that spot. Is it just really stressed or in its way out
