Fiji Foxface Rabbitfish

Fiji Foxface Rabbitfish (Siganus Uspi)

The Bicolor Foxface is a distinctive rabbitfish species, notable for its striking coloration. The front portion of its body is a deep, blackish brown with typical black and white facial markings, while the rear half is bright yellow. As an active swimmer, it requires a spacious aquarium. Generally peaceful, the Bicolor Foxface can coexist with both aggressive and tranquil fish. However, it may become territorial and aggressive when kept with other rabbitfish. To defend itself, it raises its venomous dorsal spines when threatened. Typically, the Bicolor Foxface is reef-safe if well-fed, though it may nip at or consume soft corals, LPS, and SPS. As an herbivore, it should be provided with a varied diet of algae and fresh vegetables. Endemic to the waters of Fiji, the Bicolor Foxface is a striking and less commonly seen species compared to other members of its family. Named for its rabbit-like mouth, the Bicolor Foxface features an attractive color pattern: dark brown to black on the front and middle of its body, transitioning to vibrant yellow on the posterior and tail. Its head displays a white region extending from the throat to behind the eye, complemented by large, foxlike eyes.
