Biota Palau Captive-Bred Gold-lined Rabbitfish (Siganus lineatus)

Reared primarily as a food fish, Siganus lineatus is generally known as the Golden-lined Rabbitfish and is also called the Golden Lined Spinefoot (and other derivations). Like all Rabbitfishes (including the popular Foxfaces), this species has venomous dorsal fin spines meant to deter predators, so take care when handling. They are consummate grazers of algae, but many references do warn that if underfed, they can at times turn on corals.
