Yes I’ve been after a magnificent for ages after my original ‘disappeared’ after moving him from the S650 into the big house,

Im just reading up on compatibility with the existing ‘fox face’ and apparently there can be ‘issues’ with 2 rabbit fish , but it’s a very big tank so we will see……!!

I've got 2 Fiji bicolor foxfaces (Siganus uspi) and 1 One-spot foxface (Siganus unimaculatus) together in a 75-gallon quarantine tank right now, and they are getting along fine together. All 3 are around 4.5" long.

I have also read that there can be issues between foxfaces, both from the same species or different species, if they are not a mated pair, but there are also some with success having multiple foxfaces together peaceably in a larger tank.

Just for the record, and because I can never remember names these additions are

Copperband butterfly
Magnificent foxface
Labouts wrasse
Ornate leopard wrasse
8 green chromis

The Copperband had been at the LFS for about a week and I reserved him while they made sure he was feeding ok and he seems to have fitted into the system well, just minding his own business picking at the rocks and hopefully clearing up some Aiptasia

I added the chromis because I like them especially when they get bigger, well if!

And enjoy a little ‘light’ refreshment, well if bourbon chasers count! Lol
