Whats your opinion on your foxface as im thinking to get one to add next as the last fish.like what algaes it eats.peaceful fish i read?
Shy and scared of own shadow? Etc

Tia
I love my foxface. Such a coward. So very gentle. I would be shocked to ever hear of a foxface acting like a purple tang. He doesn't graze on the rock much. But, he's super fat. All his food comes from 4x feeding. Lazy fish.

Also, I don't know if it's a fox thing, he loves a swimming buddy. After the pbt was removed. He tries to swim with my wrasse. Wrasse will always nip him when he does.

When I put food in the tank sometimes he'll poke my hand with his nose. The nose is soft!

And to think they got venomous spines so could be a complete menace if wanted to but i heard alot like you say about big softie which is good i guess ( better than menace ^_^ )
My main algae eating fish was going to be a yellow tang but as so hard to get these days i decided foxface as sure watched a brs video i think saying they nearly as good as yt but guess if we all feed our tanks very well then they dont have to work as hard getting their own food ha ha
My ugly stage hasnt been that bad so far though tbh.slight discolouration of sandbed and greenish tinge on mortar where connected rocks together,not that im complaining as see some tanks full of 2- 3 inch green hair algae or red slime algae etc but gradually adding more cuc as and when needed and try get my fish to have jobs so maybe thats helping.
Ok thanks will stick to plan off getting 1 spot foxface as nice looking fish ^_^

Ty, my army of collonista snails probably keeps my gha under control. They are no bigger than a small pea.

Oh, I love my tank. It takes time for sure to get things to look really alive.

Going through old photos of my last reef. Years and years of growth. The time it takes to keep things going and stable. It's all worth it.
Edit: These pictures back in 2012 -2014, before a serious heater malfunction. I've been away from aquariums for 2 years. A lot of work ahead of me now.

P.O.T.O live sale scores! I am very excited on the hammer. The torch, I expect will be DOA the zoas.. Mah, they are zoas.
Now that teal candy cane was very interesting. A close look and you see orange markings. I have never seen that in the green versions before. But. I haven't seen all candy canes either.

You already have a huge tank setup and running. I sure can't offer any advice here. Just get a pretty system that will make the quarentene look pretty. Very possible with corals and inverts!

Nice scores! Don’t worry as long as FedEx doesn’t delay your box that torch will arrive in tip top shape! POTO torches are some of the best.
