Orange Spot Rabbitfish (Siganus guttatus)

This mature female Orange Spot Rabbitfish carries a scatter of warm orange dots across an olive-green body, patterning that can shift slightly with mood and surroundings. Rabbitfish get their name from that same wary, grazing temperament — always alert, always nibbling — and the venomous spines that back it up whenever a spine gets brushed the wrong way. A steady algae grazer that pulls real weight in a larger reef system.
