Description
The Finespotted Rabbitfish is a large, streamlined marine fish characterized by its fine spotting and often yellowish caudal fin. It is a voracious herbivore, making it an excellent algae grazer for large reef or FOWLR aquariums. Caution is advised due to its venomous dorsal, anal, and pelvic fin spines.
