Captive Care: This is one of the most sought-after fish if you want to keep almost all green hair algae at bay as these ferocious eaters will clear up a tank rather quickly. Foxfaces may need to be supplemented with Nori and/or herbivore diets to keep them healthy. Being striking Yellow, these fish are a welcome flash of color for most reef tanks. The added bonus of these fish being fantastic algae eaters is a huge bonus that all foxface owners enjoy. These fish do have a small amount of venom in their dorsal fins so be careful not to get stuck, the sting is a bit more than a bee sting.
