Foxface Rabbitfish

[edikpok]

I have one foxface rabbitface about 7-8cm long and recently I have noticed a brown stain appeared in the middle, towards the bottom of the fish's body. anyone knows what it can possibly be?

Hard to say. Foxfaces change their color so dynamically, it may just be mood. How big a spot?

i thought it may be the mood as well but it has been there for the last 2 weeks. it is brown and it is about 5 x 3 mm. so the whole body is yellow (with exception of the drak stain in the back-characteristic one) and there is this brown stain. also, it doesnt look like it bothers him.....

Thanks

In Tropical Fish Hobbyist magazine they just had an article on venomous marine fish, and it said that Foxfaces may get brown spots on their body if they feel threatened or stressed.
