Foxface Rabbitfish

Siganus vulpinus

The Foxface Rabbitfish is a strikingly colored fish with a bright yellow body, bold black-and-white face markings, and a fox-like snout. It is an excellent algae grazer and one of the best natural solutions for controlling nuisance algae in reef tanks. Caution: its dorsal spines are venomous and can deliver a painful sting — handle with care and never net bare-handed.
