bad rabbitfish

[seaflea]

So my rabbitfish has suddenly taking a liking to biting of oh my acans. I gave him some nori so he would nibble on that..how else could get him to stop

One's gotta go...either the acans or the rabbitfish.

heavy feeding will help. Once a fish gets a taste for a coral they often don't give up.

I saw the LFS had rabbit fish labeled as cautionary with corals. I was surprised to see that, I thought rabbit fish were peaceful reef fish, was thinking of getting one, I might not now..

Rabbitfish as a general rule are absolutely not reef safe. Foxface are hit or miss, but rabbits generally are considered not safe.

^correction. I'm an idiot. I was thinking butterfly fish, not rabbits.

My mistake. Ignore that post entirely.
