One Spot Foxface Rabbitfish

One Spot Foxface Rabbitfish (Siganus unimaculatus) is a peaceful species that is completely reef-safe, making it an excellent choice for mixed reef systems as it poses no threat to corals or invertebrates while focusing primarily on algae grazing. This elegant rabbitfish displays a bright golden-yellow body with distinctive black and white facial markings similar to the regular foxface, but features a prominent single black spot on the side of the body that gives it its common name, complemented by the characteristic rabbit-like mouth used for tireless algae consumption. The vibrant yellow coloration with striking facial pattern and distinctive body spot combined with diligent grazing behavior make it both a stunning centerpiece and highly effective natural algae controller. It can reach about 8-9 inches in adult size. Best kept in tanks of at least 100 gallons or more due to their active swimming and foraging nature, with abundant live rock for algae growth and grazing opportunities, stable water parameters, and careful handling around their venomous dorsal spines, though they're generally very peaceful and often develop engaging personalities with their owners. Its diet should focus heavily on marine algae—nori sheets, spirulina, dried seaweed, quality herbivore pellets—with occasional meaty supplements like mysis shrimp, as this primarily herbivorous species requires constant access to plant matter for optimal health and will provide excellent nuisance algae control while maintaining their brilliant yellow coloration and distinctive markings.
