The rabbitfish is calm and active in my 60-gallon tank. I placed it with peaceful species and it hasn’t shown aggression. It’s a good addition to a reef setup with proper caution. Feeding is easy and it eats most of the algae in the tank.
Lauren McDonald –
It’s a nice, peaceful fish that doesn’t stress other tank inhabitants. I noticed it occasionally brushes against a soft coral, so I moved it slightly away. Overall, it’s a good fit for my intermediate reef tank.

I’ve had this fish for six months now. It’s very active and keeps the tank clean by grazing on algae. The size is appropriate for a mid-sized tank and it adapts well to the environment.
