Coral Rabbitfish Siganus corallinus

[Mr Coffee]

Does anyone have any experience with a coral rabbit fish (Siganus Corallinus). I have heard that they sometimes nip or eat Xenia and other softies. I would like to know if any one has any experience with them.

How difficult is it to determine the sex of these fish if looking for a pair? Is the dominate one male or do they tend to be more like the Tangs in regard to sex?

 

[Mr Coffee]

No one really.

What about determining the sex of rabbitfish? is the dominate one the male or are they born with a sex like tangs? or do they change back and forth like redfish?

anyone Bueler?

Where is Harris?

i do not know how to sex them, my friend has one in his tank and it ate all his xenia. he had a ton but it ate all of it. he didnt care because its a pest. i too am interested to find out how to sex these fish

 

[Mr Coffee]

The travel in pairs as adults. Which may indicate that they have a particular sex to start possibly. Like tangs which I think start out as one sex from what I have read. I don't know if it is more common for schooling fish to be a dominance male/female but that seems to be some thing that is common in schooling fish. I wish some one would school me on this.

Perhaps we should state general observance and supposition as fact and get corrected.
