One Spot Foxface Fish

The One Spot Foxface, *Siganus unimaculatus*, also known as the Blotched Foxface or One Spot Rabbitfish, is a striking and peaceful addition to a saltwater aquarium. Its body is a vibrant yellow, contrasting sharply with a dark brown to black blotch just below the dorsal fin. The face is elongated, resembling that of a rabbit, giving it its common name.

A minimum tank size of 70 gallons is recommended for the One Spot Foxface, providing ample swimming space and plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding. While generally peaceful towards other fish, they can be territorial towards other rabbitfish. They are considered reef safe with caution, as they may nip at some soft corals and clam mantles if not well-fed.

The One Spot Foxface is primarily a herbivore, feeding on a variety of marine algae. In the aquarium, their diet should consist of high-quality marine algae, spirulina, and vegetable matter. They will also accept high-quality flake and pellet foods. Providing plenty of natural algae growth in the tank is beneficial for their health and well-being.

In a home aquarium, the One Spot Foxface can reach a size of up to 8 inches. There are no readily apparent visual differences between males and females. Breeding in captivity is not common.
