Golden Rabbitfish Siganus corallinus
The Golden Rabbitfish has all of the popular Rabbitfish traits including exceptional coloration, algae grazing capabilities, general hardiness, and overall good demeanor. Also known as the Blue Spotted Spinefoot, its displays the "rabbit"-like snout. The Golden Rabbitfish is a tan with blue spots (possibly some vertical banding) as a juvenile. In adult coloration, it is a beautiful golden-yellow with pinhead-sized, vivid blue spots covering the body. Using their specially-adapted mouths to graze on naturally-occurring algae, Rabbitfish do best with frequent feedings. Rabbitfish are typically considered reef-safe as they will ignore invertebrates. If not fed multiple times daily, they may choose to graze on some corals, including Soft Corals and Large Polyped Stony Corals. The spines of the Rabbitfish are venomous. So the Rabbitfish should always be handled with great care.
Feed several times daily. Offer meaty items such as mysis shrimp and vitamin enriched brine shrimp as well as frozen preparations for herbivores.
