Siganus punctatus yes or no

Saw one of these at the LFS that looked quite healthy. All I can find on them is that they grow to 40cm in the wild. The one I saw was only 3". No information about what they eat though.

Would this be a good fish in an aquarium?

Pssst. That's over a foot long adult size. How big is your tank? BTW, I would guess that it's a big time vegetarian & will create lots of nice poop for your skimmer, especially once it starts to grow.

I'm sure it eats algae as a primary food source, just like most Rabbitfishes. It looks great and I'm sure it would be fine but you may have coral nipping problems that are associated with any Rabbitfish.

Hey Danny, PM me with who has it. If it's the right one and you're not gonna snag it, I've been looking for one of these forever.
