What plants will a tang and or foxface not eat? I would love to add some color with macros, but I now have a powder blue tang and a foxface.

Hmmm... halimeda might work, as well as shaving bush plant, and mermaids fan... although I have no personal experiance with the latter two.

I do Have experience with those last two and a yellow tang will eat them both. I can't think of anything that one or the other won't eat. I add color with corals, Not with macro algae.
