Foxface Rabbitfish
A highly popular and functional reef fish, the Foxface Rabbitfish is known for its bold yellow and black coloration, peaceful temperament, and excellent algae-grazing abilities. Hardy and constantly active, this species is a fantastic addition to larger reef aquariums.
🟢 Quarantined (Minimum 2 Weeks) – Fully Conditioned & Eating
Quick Facts
- Care Level: Easy–Moderate
- Temperament: Peaceful
- Reef Compatibility: Reef Safe with caution
- Minimum Tank Size: 90 gallons
- Size: Ranging from approximately 6–9 inches at adult size
Behavior & Husbandry
Foxface Rabbitfish are active swimmers that spend much of their day grazing algae from rockwork and glass. They are generally peaceful and coexist well with most reef-safe fish, making them excellent additions to community reef systems.
When stressed or resting, Foxfaces may temporarily display darker camouflage coloration, which is completely normal behavior.
Like all rabbitfish, they possess venomous dorsal spines, so care should be taken during handling or maintenance around the aquarium.

Primarily herbivorous with constant grazing behavior.
