The foxface celebrated his first anniversary in the RSM250 this Saturday. In the past year he has done great, it’s a great fish to observe. He changes colours depending on his mood, sometimes he is coloured bright yellow, sometimes with a black strip on his back and sometimes with brown/gray spots all over his body. Also sometimes the colour is more pale/white, mostly when he sleeps or is stressed. Also fun to observe are his spines which he flashes when he feels threatened.

In the beginning he enjoyed the presence of the big toadstool we had. He was always swimming around it and hiding underneath it. After the rebuild when the toadstool died he took refuge in the cave behind the Bulb Anemone.

He did give us some trouble with the rebuild. While we knew the firefish could jump he was the one who jumped out of the small aquarium and onto the floor. It didn’t seem to damage him luckily.

He is one of the few fish actually eating from my hand when feeding. But he also takes the frozen mysis and searches for algae during the daytime. He also feeds on the Sea Pearls we had a few of lately. The smaller ones disappeared rather quick, only the big ones remain for us to remove.
