I just picked up one from my LFS. He's a little bitty guy! I'm hoping he does well and grows to be a great fish for the new reef!there was another post not long ago about the fish that’s a absolute must .
foxface is my one must have ..,
amazing at grazing , active , and not overly aggressive towards others
They are amazing . Eats as much as a teenagerI just picked up one from my LFS. He's a little bitty guy! I'm hoping he does well and grows to be a great fish for the new reef!
i'll keep this in mind if the time ever comes to bag a rabbitfish.You never want to bet a rabbit… I did that with my Mag and he got stuck in the net. Needless to say I ended up with a broken net and a stressed rabbit (He was happy when he went into the 4’ again though). The good thing is you can hold them by the sides so a thick pair of gloves helped me with that.
In my 4’ tank’s build thread I have a lot about what occurred during changing my sand to a much finer (Sugar Fine) sand.
My one spot is my king fish. He is the reason I added a second tank (130 gallon) for fowlr. He outgrew the 100 and was somewhat of a bully when it came to feeding time, but now that he has real competition (h tusk, puffer, coral beauty, m wrasse, trigger) he has met his match. I do supplement his feeding with algae pellets although he will eat the meat I feed the others, but clearly no longer the aggressor. PLUS, I love it when he goes full camoWhich one do you like best? Foxface or Rabbitfish? Post your experience with either or both of these cool fish, and post a picture of you've got one!
The common name will vary depending on location and even many places use a variety of common names. Here are the common names listed by fishbase for this species. https://www.fishbase.se/ComNames/Co...e=Siganus&SpeciesName=vulpinus&StockCode=4816It’s also still used in the common name of Siganus vulpinus and im pretty sure the common name last time I checked was Foxface Lo so it’s still in use, just not for the same thing.
I was going to say;I was going to say the exact same thing .
Curious why im asked to choose the same fish .
They look like Siganus guttatus, absolutely stunning in person.
Are these Rabbitfish?
Same haha, well another rabbit Atleast as if I went for another species of Siganiidae it would definitely be Siganus dioliatus, I wish I had a photo of this species.I may have to get another FF soon.

I find Magnificus to remain smaller and stay in a 4’ tank for essentially it’s whole life.I liked the foxface.
But if there's a smaller one it would be a better fit
Unimaculatus and Vulpinus seem to be more likely to eat coral than Magnificus and Uspi are. I can’t really say much on Siganus niger as I’ve never come across one in person to say what they’re like with coral.I just started this hobby a few months ago, and every tank I saw on YouTube when I was watching videos for research had a one spot , I thought they were cool looking with the bright yellow and there little snout mouth. So I picked up one from my lfs when my tank was up and running. He was ok for the first 2 days . Then I noticed he wouldn’t eat nori sheets or pellets or flake but he would eat frozen, I guess that wasn’t enough for him so he started decimating my Duncan so he had to go. Quite unfortunate , I was hoping to have one in my reef tank.
My one spot would not touch meat. Definitely a herbivore except for my fireworks coral.I just started this hobby a few months ago, and every tank I saw on YouTube when I was watching videos for research had a one spot , I thought they were cool looking with the bright yellow and there little snout mouth.
