Has anyone seen a large to xl foxface rabbitfish?

How are the fish doing today? Btw, there's a newer method (hybrid TTM) that doesn't use copper and only uses hydrogen peroxide right before the transfer. Humblefish has the details on his site and the method seems pretty solid for those who want to self QT. I've never used copper in the past, but did lose a few fish from stupid mistakes (too much prazi), which is why I switched to general cure for wrasses. Now I just buy my fish from one source that fully QT's, it's not cheap, but I don't have the time or space to do it myself and it's worth the extra expense to have peace of mind.
I think you're approach is good, quality food, minimize stress and let them be.

Feed like crazy (small amounts of course) to distract them more. They should make a large plastic fake tang or fish you can put in during the process to distract the fish even more. I'm surprised no one has come up with a "dummy" fish for this purpose? You can also print pictures of fish and tape them to the glass so it seems like you added 6 fish.

There is someone 3D printing “dummy” tangs. Curious how well they’d work.

Seem like they are doing well. The foxface still paces the glass. I'm thinking it might be stress due to the mirrors tapped everywhere.
Scopas is chill and eating very well. I don't really want to take him back to AOA, maybe I'll fatten him up and find a home. I just don't see the powder brown chilling out but maybe I'll get lucky. I really love scopas tangs.
CBB is doing the classic, pick, eat, chew and spit. I contacted the seller and going to pick up the brand mysis he was using so I can slowly blend it into Rods or LRS. Get him eating something more nutritious. My CBB feeder is working pretty well though.

Hopefully the aggression will subside soon? I'm a big scopus fan too, I think they're highly underrated fish. CBB's are tough, it's the one fish I hope they are successful breeding at some point. I like butterflies in general, they are one of the few fish that will "school" if you have them in small groups in a large enough tank.
