Rabbitfish Fan Club - come all who love Siganus

This one is pretty much my favorite fish in the tank, the kids named him Carrot.

Do these rabbits, particularly the Scribbled Rabbitfish, eat SPS, LPS or any other corals , zoas, etc?

I've had a scribbled rabbit, (S.doliatus) for almost 2 years now. It has never bothered any corals or any zoas that I can see. It does munch bubble algae.

I have had two One Spot Foxfaces in the past, they both ate some LPS corals in my tank; I have just put a Magnificent Rabbitfish into quarantine. I have always wanted one, but did not have a large enough tank. I am currently stocking a 125 gallon six foot long tank. My other Foxfaces were algae eating machines! They even ate bubble algae (along with some corals). My favorite fish are Tangs, but I do like Rabbitfish a lot and plan on taking out the corals that the Magnificent tries to eat if/when it develops a taste for them. Most people (including my past self) take out the fish, but I plan on keeping my Magnificent for the rest of his life. If that means just keeping SPS and Softies, then that is what I will do.

I had a Siganus punctatus (Orange spot) and I was a fan until he started eating all my nice zoas. Also decided he liked leather corals as well as green star polyps...Corals have since recovered since his return to the LFS...

I have a magnificent fox, guy is such a character, so chill.

I just looked at him and he's so chubby it's like a blimp with spikes. Can't stop laughing.

Many time's when I feed I worry about being nailed by him as he wants to hand feed, but I'm not risking it.
