Two Barred Rabbitfish

Two Barred Rabbitfish

Snapshot: Also known as the Double Barred Spinefoot. Its vibrant yellow and white stripes are offset by a bold black band spanning its face and body. Neon blue outlines add an electrifying touch.

 

Other tidbits: Can grow up to 28cm or so. Range extends from Australia's Great Barrier Reef northwards to Indonesia and the Philippines. They can switch up their colors, blending in seamlessly with their surroundings. During the day, its hues are more vibrant, resembling the Foxface. When threatened, they pull a disappearing act by hiding next to rocks and switching up their colors and patterns — looking “ill” is just their slick camouflage in action!

 

Bare bones must know: Live-rock fish-only system, or reef aquarium with care. Wear gloves when handling, their venomous spines can inflict painful injuries.
