Living up to its name, the Magnificent Foxface is a premium species that reaches a Max Size of 23 cm. It features a striking colour palette that sets it apart from its yellow cousins: a clean white body with a large dark brown-to-black patch covering the upper half and a bright red trim along the edges of the dorsal and tail fins. The face remains the classic black and white associated with the genus. This species is slightly more sensitive than the standard Foxface and requires a well-established aquarium with high water quality. They are incredible algae eaters and add a sophisticated, high-contrast look to any large reef or fish-only system.
