Rehoming a 4" foxface rabbitfish

[IOnceWasLegend]

A friend moved out of state and needed to quickly rehome some livestock. Since it was a baby, I opted to take it temporarily until I could find it a more permanent home.

It's roughly 4" long right now, growing quickly, and I'd like to rehome it before its size becomes a concern. It's an absolute pig for nori on a clip and has gotten along very well with the other inhabitants in my RSR250. I'd like it to go to a good home, so this will not necessarily be 'first come, first serve'. Thanks!

I'd offer if I didn't already have one in QT. Great fish to have. Hope it finds a good home.

Hmm, very tempted. Mine died of old age a year or so ago.
Good fish, even though it stabbed me once with the spines.

I have a 250G tank, so it can grow no problem.

Exactly what type of Foxface?

I think it's a foxface lo. Definitely not a one spot or magnificent.

I'm looking for one at the moment for my 220.. Only about 10 small fish in the tank..damsels, coral beauty, neon dotty back and clowns..
Thanks @svreef for the relay!!

How long did yours live?

In my tank, about 7 years. But it was not a baby when I bought it, so not really sure about total.

I was curious. Found the first picture, Nov 2012. So 10 years.

I think I will pass.
I worry a Foxface Lo will not get along with my large and somewhat cranky yellow tang. Too similar.
Plus I have been scaling back a bit anyway lately.
