[daugherty]

i got a new fish to day it was between a yellow eyed tang or the foxface and i got the foxface because i was not shure how big the tang got until i got home with the foxface or i would have got the tang dang it.

NICE! I sooooo wanted a fox face but I wanted to mix up my colors...already had the blue damsel and blue headed wrasse, didn't want to have a yellow tang and a yellow fox face, so I got the true perc (typical :grumble:) and now I'm pretty sure I'm maxed out on fish for my tank :grumble:x2

:Cheers: Congrats! ...I'm jealous :grumble:x3

Hey James, congratulations on your new Foxy. Looks like a good one.

Congrats James.
Be careful of those spines:D They dont feel good when they stick you.

Congrats on the new fish. I had the same choice years ago and guess which one I took. LOL

if they feel like a long spine urchin i bet worse than one it is going to hurt.

that is a beauty i wish i would had more info on one when i went there because that is the one i would have come home with,

I'll put it this way James.
A long spine urchin aint got nothing on a rabbitfish sting.

I haven't had one of these before yote. Will they aggressively come after you when your hand is in the tank or only if you were to grab one? Sorry James for hijacking. Just curious. Thanks.

oh you are fine asking i am wanting to know more about it also. i know they hurt but am wondering just how bad i guess i will find out if i get stung. i am betting it it just as bad as maybe a lion. i have seen people that have got stuck by a lion and that did not look fun

 

[dcantucson]

Well hopefully you won't have firsthand (no pun intended) experience! :lol:

 

[daugherty]

i am hoping i dont have to find out either may be i will make my wife stick her hand in there and tell her to try and pet it then i will know how bad it hurts :mrgreen:

 

[dcantucson]

:lol: your bad :lol:

 

[yote]

Mine never actually TRYED to sting me.But he would catch me cleaning or placing corals in the tank and come up and nibble the hairs on my arm.If I wasnt paying attention to where he was at and let him surprise me,I'd end up jumping and get stung.
The big difference in a rabbitfish and lionfish sting,is a lion can choose weather or not to release its venom where a rabbitfish releases it every time.
If you really wanna know how bad it hurts,Just find the biggest hornets nest you can and stick your hand inside it.

Damn that sounds VERY painful. Good luck James or should I say James' wife. :shock:

 

[daugherty]

well he is gone gone. i woke up a couple days ago and was watching the tank all day while i was home nothing. i am wondering if my fish are grtting stabbed by the long spine urchin (he is getting big with 7in spines or bigger). because now its the foxface and a sailfin tang

 

[yote]

Could be James.
Those urchins can be pretty hard on fish.

 

[dcantucson]

Sorry about your Foxface, James. Wow that was quick. That urchin sounds big, but it seems strange that a Foxface or Tang would be killed by it.
