Description

The bright yellow coloration of the Golden Rabbitfish makes it an attractive addition to a community aquarium. The Golden Rabbitfish, unlike many other Rabbitfish, prefers to be in groups or schools. It is excellent in fighting caulerpa, hair algae, bryopsis, valonia and red turf algae. Rabbitfishes are relatively peaceful and will not likely harass other peaceful tankmates.

You should be cautious when adding this animal to a reef aquarium as it is noted it may occasionally nip at large polyp stony corals as well as soft corals.

Diet

Feed a varied diet consisting of large chunks of meaty foods. These foods include krill, raw table shrimp, squid, clam and mussel. It is also a good idea to occasionally supplement with some type of herbivore diet.
