My Foxface is an awesome fish! Spends most of the time out in the open and is a PIG! Eats everything and anything. Great for algae control. He even ate cyano a little once... I don't think we will ever do that again though! His belly showed some red through it and he was acting erratically. Once it passed through, he was back to normal.
I don't think they would ever intentionally sting you, however, catch it off guard and you never really know... I have never been close to it happening but I am all ways aware of where he is and making sure he sees that my hands are in the water so that it stays away.
As for disease, most Rabbitfish are very hardy. I had ich once at the start of my tank and he was able to battle through it with no harm done. Much hardier than most tangs, etc.
