That's an expensive lunch. I don't want to motivate the trigger to go hunting either, I just want him out more. He's out more and more now. It's strange that a large fish in the tank is really changing his behavior but those small pajama cardinals and my clownfish never made a difference.

Seams that in is case, the effect is really with a larger fish. I think I will keep it as it is for now and watch how things evolve because he's coming out more and more since I introduced the foxface.

Not 6" in 7 months. He was about 4" when I got him. he's 7" to 8" more or less with the tail included. That's an approximation of course.. I did not took it out of the water and put against a ruler.

My foxface seems to bring out the more shy fish in my tank as well. I have a royal gramma that was being harrassed when I first added him to the tank, he then befriended the foxface and everone played nice after that! I wouldn't be concerned about a fishes personality, "common behavior" is just a generalization and each fish will behave how it wants. Over time it's been my experience that just about all fish become pretty social with each other and their owner, or dead.
