Orangespot Rabbitfish / Siganus Gutattus

Scientific name: Siganus Gutattus

Size: 10"

Min. Aquarium size: 100g

Temperament: one of the more shy Rabbitfish, Siganus Gutattus doesn't swim as spastically as most others in the genus. Algae clips with sheets of Nori are suggested as a daily supplement to avoid potential LPS or soft coral grazing. Practice caution when near this fish, as it's dorsal spines are VENEMOUS!
