The Orange Spot Rabbitfish, also called the Orange Blotch Rabbitfish (not as sexy) is an unusually colored fish with silver with orange or rust colored spots. Rabbitfish are good for fighting caulerpa, hair algae, bryopsis, valonia and red turf algae. Rabbitfishes are relatively peaceful and will not likely harass other peaceful tankmates. As juveniles, Rabbitfish will frequently school but become more aggressive as adults as they establish their territory.
