Description

The Orange Spot Rabbitfish (Siganus guttatus) is an eye-catching marine species characterized by its vibrant yellow body adorned with distinctive orange spots. This fish can grow up to 12 inches in size, making it a substantial inhabitant for larger aquariums.

With a semi-aggressive temperament, the Orange Spot Rabbitfish can be territorial, especially with its own kind, so it’s best to house them in pairs or small groups in spacious tanks. This species requires plenty of swimming space and hiding spots, as it is active and enjoys exploring its environment.

As a herbivore, the Orange Spot Rabbitfish primarily feeds on algae and plant matter. A diet rich in marine seaweed, spirulina, and high-quality herbivore pellets is essential for its health and well-being. This fish is generally reef-compatible and can coexist with a variety of corals and invertebrates, but caution is advised when introducing tankmates to prevent aggressive behavior. Its stunning coloration and lively nature make it a popular choice for marine aquarists.
