Foxface " hosting " in Pipe Organ

I gotta tell ya first of all that this is a really weird fish

Swims around and changes colours beside live rock ( sorta like he wants to skulk around unnoticed ... LOL )

Anyway I picked up a pipe organ LPS from Alan a few weeks ago and put it in the sand at the front of my tank and for a few days the FF ignored it ... then one day he decides to " slide " into the Pipe organ ... now it is at the point where he cant swim by without snuggling in for a minute or two ... weird fish I tell ya.

Just wondering if anyone has seen a foxface act like that before ?

Cheers

Just an update ... seems he is'nt the only one that acts strange ( must be genetic

) ... I posted the same question on RC and a few people responded that their FF acted strange too

... so if you want a fish that does not necessarily act like a regular run of the mill fish then consider a FF ... very entertaining

Cheers

The foxface grows fast to be a very large fish, so I'll just add I had to remove my from a 155g after owning her over a year. Mitch has her now in a larger tank.

Lucky for me I got a very large tank

Hmm so you need a large tank for a foxface do you

Would a 230 suffice?

It's getting close!

I guess then by Em's calculation you could keep one for a year and a half...
