🐠 Goldspotted Rabbitfish (Siganus punctatus)
A Golden Body Covered in Fine Dark Spots With Subtle Blue Accents • A Highly Effective Nuisance Algae Grazer • An Active Swimmer Needing Room to Roam
📋 The Goldspotted Rabbitfish is a vibrant marine species with a yellow-to-golden body covered in fine dark spots and subtle blue accents.
It comes from a wide range across the Indo-Pacific, inhabiting coral-rich reef environments. Every Goldspotted Rabbitfish we ship is feeding well.
This active herbivore is highly effective at grazing nuisance algae, making it a valuable addition to marine aquariums. Like all rabbitfish, it carries venomous dorsal spines, so care is needed during handling. It's generally peaceful and adapts well to larger systems, and is reef safe with caution; a consistently well-fed specimen generally leaves corals alone. It reaches 25-30cm, so a 400L tank suits it well.
