seabass Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) Rabbitfish While too large for a true nano reef, Rabbitfish are colorful, hardy, and interesting to observe. In addition, its algae eating capabilities (including hair algae, bubble algae, and red turf algae) can be quite useful. They tend to be peaceful, except when housed with other Rabbitfish. Its venomous spines can inflict a painful sting, so use caution when handling this fish. Even other fish will fear their spines, which makes it possible to house Rabbitfish with more aggressive species. Given a large enough tank, you can usually keep Rabbitfish in bonded pairs. When well fed, Rabbitfish are generally reef-safe. Provide plenty of live rock for grazing on algae. However, when underfed, they are known for nipping at and consuming LPS and soft corals. Considered a herbivore, feed a herbivorous diet (including sheets of algae, frozen herbivorous preparations, and fresh vegetables) along with meaty chunks of seafood (including chopped shrimp, squid, clams, mussels, and krill).
