orange spotted rabbitfish

[carnavor]

is a orange spotted rabbitfish (Siganus punctatus) reef safe?

 

[reefman420]

rabbit fish are safe but some will pick at zoas and lps

I agree with reefman, I had an Orange spot & he ate ALL my zoas. I think it depends on the indvidual fish as well.

I've heard about Orange spots eating zoas from several folks. I think it may be a characteristic of the punctatus. I have a Blue Spot and he hasn't touched anything. I wanted an orange spot originally but am now glad I didn't get one.

Is the blue spot bright yellow w/ bright blue spots? I have seen 1 & thought about that for my next Rabbit fish.

Yes it is. It gets more striking as it gets bigger. It's a lot of fun and very peaceful (except when my purple tang is acting rambunctious).
