Simple question I know some people have had luck with keeping more then one rabbit fish in a big enough tank. My question is how do normal rabbit fish like a magnificent rabbit (Siganus magnificus) and a Orange Spot Rabbitfish (Siganus gutattus) get along in a 150 gallon reef. Setting up the tank still, I have a friend hold on to my Magnificent rabbit he's about 7" and I was hoping I could get him another rabbit friend.
 
I have kept 2 Siganus magnificus together for the better part of 5 years. They always swam together and grew to significant size. I tried to introduce a S. uspi to them but they would not let the poor thing rest for a minute. And that was in a 550 gals.
I would say your best bet would be to introduce at the same time.
