Scribbled Rabbitfish in a Reef?

[hotrodolds]

Anyone have experience with this fish?

 

[rogersb]

Yes. He immediately ate all the mushrooms I had which I didn't really mind but then he turned on something else. I forget if it was zoas or some LPS. Either way, he wasn't stopping with just mushrooms and he went back to the store.

mine was a zoa/paly mower. Could clear a plug in nothing flat!

 

[bradleyj]

I've had mine for over 8 years now. Never touched a coral or zoa/pally.

Although he has gotten too large for me now and soon will be on display in a local aquarium, I'm hoping. If I can get him out.

Man beautiful looking fish.

I just added one. Only had it for about a week so it's too soon to say but from my research it sounds like if you keep them well fed they'll leave your coral alone.

I had one that I got from another reefer. Really He was too big for my tank. and after a week he was skittish so he went to Vivid.

I hear they do better in pairs. I'm looking for another one for my tank

I've had one for 2 years now with no problem. Now orange spot rabitttfish, that's a different story. He's a beautiful fish but he loves dem leathers. Hasn't killed them, just keps them trimmed.

My doliatus hasn't touched anything in my tank he wasn't supposed to.

that's a 2 line rabbit and I had a couple of those at different times until they got too big (they grow fast). These I've had no problems with and they mow through calerpa.

Same thing two line or scribbled they are both Siganus doliatus

I have had mine for ~2 months. So far so good... knocking on wood.

He is competing with my yellow tang that is a good 30% larger than him.

Beautiful fish. Very aware, and has that galactic haze of a puffer in his eyes.

Mine ate zoas and mowed down an 8" tall toadstool.
