http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...8/DSC05970.jpg

Trigger Man 12-07-2008 07:43 PM

Now thats a nice looking fish, really stands out under that lighting of yours.

GreenSpottedPuffer 12-07-2008 08:51 PM

Wow beautiful Rabbitfish! What kind is it? Siganus guttatus?

Skimmerking 12-07-2008 09:03 PM

i think so Im not sure I know it may not be staying in the tank any longer. it likes nipping at my clams
already nipped at the crocea and the maxima and a few SPS im not impressed since where I got it from He told me that naw they wont touch clams what ever
:twised:

:twised:

Oh no! Thats really too bad cause he is a gorgeous fish!

I was lucky I guess with my rabbit, he never nips anything. He actually cleaned all the algae off the outside of a clam once but thats it.

Psyire 12-07-2008 11:38 PM

Very nice leopard wrasse!

I like the Rabbitfish as well. I had one for about a year before he died while I was on holidays. (mysterious) They are definately hit and miss with corals. It's a Siganus Punctatus, and they get quite big. (16" in the Wild) Mine loved Nori, so feeding plenty of that may keep your clams and corals safer. Good luck!

hershey 12-08-2008 12:18 AM
