An orange spot rabbit fish would be a perfect edition imo. It eats all types of algae except bryopsis, it even eats bubble algae. It is a very tame fish with no sorts of aggression and got along with all my different fish including tangs and triggers. There are various variations of the orange spot rabbit but the one i included a picture of is the one I've had the most succes with as far as having no aggression towards any of the other fish, it grazes on algae that the tangs don't prefer, it eats anything you feed it, basically its a great addition to any reef where you don't want the fish your adding having any type of aggression and is also very hardy. Heres a pic of the one that I've found to be perfect for its intended purpose and has all the good characteristics that won't give you any unwanted results.
Unfortunately too expensive with shipping for me
Yes but they tend to grow larger
Yea that is why I haven't tried it
I just purchased this same exact fish. It’s about 3 inches now. The guys at my LFS told me that it’ll grow just a big larger, not much. Only after I got home and done some research I realized it’s going to be 10+ inches. I have a 50 gal tank with 2 clowns (and some other fish planned). How soon will this fish’s size become a problem for me?An orange spot rabbit fish would be a perfect edition imo. It eats all types of algae except bryopsis, it even eats bubble algae.

Good to hear. How long have you had yours? How much did it grow in your tank? Thanks.
S. punctatus?
I traded it for a Pinktail trigger to a friend who wanted it around 6 months ago. I had it for 2+ years and it grew from 1.5 to 4 inches roughly but stopped growing around 6 months before I traded it to my friend do to the size of my tank. He added it to a larger tank and when I saw it last time around a week ago it definitely started growing again as it was larger. Hope that helps.
How big was your tank? Mine is a red sea reefer 200, 2 ft cube, 53 gal with sump. Thanks, this is good info.
