Virgate Rabbitfish Siganus virgatus
30cm
Rabbit fish and Foxfaces are great macro algae eaters. They tend to eat most algae that tangs just will not touch. Rabbitfish are generally
larger than their foxface cousins. Another easy to keep fish. Likes to eat a lot of veggie fare. Likes nori on a clip. Will also eat food
floating in the water column. They can get pretty big, so watch the size. They are slow growing though. Not very aggressive to other tankmates,
but have had some problems with similar looking fish to it.
Caution: All Siganus have venomous spines, so be carefull when netting and handling them.
