foxface or kole

[Chin_Lee]

foxfaces are pigs. they eat everything and they poo alot. A kole is a much nicer fish ime. but if you want a fish to eat all your macro algae, get a fox face.

actually it's the micro i want eaten up. will they eat halameda?

[Chin_Lee]

i doubt it. that stuff is pretty tough for most fish, would be like eating cardboard

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Mmmmmmm. Cardboard

just thought everyone would like to know im the proud new owner of a lovely little kole tang. i would grab a pic of him if he would sit still for a second, he started working the rock and glass 20mins after he arrived and hasn’t stopped. i told him when he rids the tank of algae he can have a fat gob of mysis so i think he’s motivated.

You are talking for when you switch to the bigger tank right?

[Willow]

i don't think anything except maybe a foxface will go after big clumps of hair. it does eat the filimatinious stuff on glass and rocks. apart from most other tangs ive owned in the past koles seem to really earn their keep.

Are they reef safe?

[Willow]

oh yeah, they are pretty docile and only seem interested in grazing.
