I have the following: Yellow tang; Foxface Lo; Blue damsel; Yellowtail damsel; 2 - clowns; 3- striped cardinals. I have never seen any of them picking at the feather duster, but God knows what goes on when I'm away!
Do you see anything in the fish population that would raise a red flag as far...
I have the same issue with a toadstool. A friend just gave me this nice toadstool specimen, and it just won't stand up.

Thanks in advance!
I've checked the worm and it looks nicely lodged into its spot and healthy from all outward appearances. I'll be patient and look forward to Feather duster 2.0. Thanks again!

Thanks for the advice. Again, when I get home from work today, it will only then be 24 hours. I will monitor the Foxface health and the behavior generally. And yes, they are both the same color - I suppose that is also an aggravating factor.
Thanks again,
Matt :thanks:
I bought a Foxface Lo (Siganus vulpinus) yesterday and I'm really concerned for the guy. He is getting mercilessly hassled by a yellow tang. The tang is about 3" and was the largest fish in my 70 gal mixed reef tank. (Other fish include 2 damsels, 1 clown, 1 strawberry pseudocromis, 3 striped...
New member to the site. I'm joining to get some help with the occasional question and get a second opinion on some of the advice I get from the LFS.
I have had two medium freshwater tanks for about 10 years. One with massive goldfish, one with misc. community fish (tetras, etc.)
