    Very cool fish! I'll be sure to look into them if I ever upgrade to a 180+ gallon tank :)

    Could you expound on this? - in terms of smaller in the same family? That is a gorgeous fish. I would have guessed it would cost much more. Thanks for sharing - wasn't even aware of this fish!

    Foxface/Rabbitfish in general, Foxfaces more so for smaller tanks... Rabbits for larger. Everyone has their own opinion on a minimum tank size when you research online, I usually go with the higher side of it. Foxface and rabbitfish are both siganus. All have great personalities, colors and once acclimated can be active but slightly shy and not overly aggressive. Most in the family cost under $100. Till you start looking at Siganus magnificus and Siganus niger.
