The rabbitfish arrived healthy and active. It has adapted well to our 120-gallon tank. We noticed it occasionally nibbles on soft corals, so we’ve added a few more robust ones. It’s a peaceful addition to the community.
Austin Terry –
We’ve had this fish for six months. It’s calm and doesn’t stress other tank inhabitants. The only thing to note is it does eat some of the soft polyps, so we’ve adjusted our coral placement.

Great choice for intermediate reef keepers. The fish is active and curious. We’ve seen it forage in the sand bed and it seems to enjoy the environment. A little caution with coral placement is needed.
