Many consider this species a REEF CAUTIONARY fish. Yet, here at Tiger Lily's House of Fish, this is one of the most dedicated algae eaters we have come across. Placed in nearly ALL aquariums we install, and is a STAFF PICK for Algae control. Out of the DOZENS that we have placed in home and business aquariums we have had ZERO issues. Even with LPS, SPS heavy tanks. We give the CORAL RABBITFISH Siganus corallinus a 5 star RATING!
