i had a foxface in my fowlr. it was always out and about. if i freaked it out, it would change colour and hide in a hole... five seconds later it would forget it was scared and come out begging for food.
ate pretty much anything i offered. cyclopeeze, nori, brine shrimp, etc. they are supposed to eat algae, so i got a ball of red macro, but it never touched the stuff.
Ive never been stung but i always took care not to get stung. if you do, know the first aid required. you should avoid having hands in there in the first place though.
very hardy fish. tough enough to hold its own against most fish, gentle enough to live with the more timid ones too. just avoid fish that eat slowly because the fox will easily outcompete it.
i cant think of any cons to this fish except that it gets fairly big. needs at least 75 gal as an adult. definitely among my fave fishes.
