Rabbitfishes are found in shallow lagoons in the Indo-Pacific and eastern Mediterranean. Some live in schools, while others live more solitary lives among the corals. Rabbitfishes have small, hare-like mouths, large dark eyes, and a peaceful temperament which gives them their name. They are colorful, but have well-developed, venomous dorsal and anal fin spines. Another unusual feature among rabbitfishes is their pelvic fins, which are formed from two spines. All rabbitfish are diurnal and herbivorous, feeding on algae in the wild. In aquaria, they should be fed a variety of fresh vegetables and algae.
