The Blue Lined Rabbitfish is active and peaceful in a 100-gallon tank. It does not damage corals when kept with careful placement. Feeding is easy with frozen foods. Good for intermediate reef setups.

It’s a nice addition to a reef tank. I noticed it occasionally brushes against soft corals, so I moved them slightly away. Overall, it’s calm and healthy after a few weeks.

The fish is active and not aggressive, but I had to monitor its behavior closely. It’s not ideal for a small tank. I’m happy with it in a larger system with proper spacing.
