I’ve kept this rabbitfish for six months in a 120-gallon tank. It’s peaceful and active, though I had to remove a soft coral due to minor nipping. Overall, it fits well in the community and adds color to the tank.

The fish is calm and easy to maintain. I noticed it occasionally brushes against a polyp, but it hasn’t caused any damage. Good for intermediate reef keepers who want a colorful, non-aggressive species.

Perfect size for a mid-sized tank. It’s not aggressive and stays near the bottom. I appreciate the caution note about reef compatibility—helpful for planning tank layout.
