Description
The Maze Rabbitfish, also known as the Vermiculated Rabbitfish, is a striking marine species characterized by its intricate, maze-like pattern of brown or orange lines over a lighter body. This herbivorous fish is an excellent algae eater for large reef or fish-only aquariums, but care must be taken due to its venomous dorsal spines. It is generally peaceful with other fish, provided they are not similar in shape or size.
