Default Problems with Rabbitfish?

It looks like I've learned another lesson - we've now caught our Orange-Spotted Rabbitfish eating corals, starfish and clam mantles. He's coming out tomorrow before he kills the clam and any corals (a pulsing xenia seems to be his occasional snacking post), and any more starfish - he killed a beautiful two-tone orange one.

Has anyone else had any problems with them?

My wife also thinks she may have seen the Desjardin Tang doing some snacking, but not sure. And her Scribbled Rabbit is apparently behaving, but wondering about others' experience with this.....

I've never had any problems with my Foxface Lo's and consider them reef safe. I've never had any other types of foxface's though, but know of other people that have and none of them had any problems.

I have a Foxface Lo as well and no issues. Never even goes near my Xenia and I have 3 bunches of it in my tank.

Since Foxface/Rabbitfish are herbivores, did you get any Nori or dried seaweed for them. Mine used to eat off the liverock.
