Magnificent Foxface: Your Stunning Algae-Eating Gem!

Introduce the vibrant Magnificent Foxface to your marine aquarium! Known for its striking colors and diligent algae-grazing, this hardy rabbitfish makes a captivating and beneficial addition.

Overview
The Magnificent Foxface (*Siganus magnificus*) boasts an elongated body adorned with a white face featuring a distinctive black band, a white midsection, and a deep brown to black posterior, often with fins edged in yellow or red. This species, often called the Magnificent Rabbitfish, is an active swimmer that gracefully navigates your tank, constantly grazing on algae. When startled, they can rapidly change their coloration to blend into their surroundings.

Care Level
Considered an intermediate-level fish, the Magnificent Foxface is generally peaceful towards other species but can be territorial with other rabbitfish unless introduced as a bonded pair in a very spacious tank. They are equipped with venomous dorsal, pelvic, and anal spines, which offer protection from more aggressive tank mates. Always exercise caution during handling and tank maintenance.

Tank Essentials
A minimum aquarium size of 475 litres (125 gallons) is recommended to provide ample swimming space and areas for grazing. Maintain stable water parameters: pH between 8.1-8.4, temperature from 23-27°C, and a specific gravity of 1.020-1.025. Ensure plenty of live rock for natural grazing and hiding spots.

Diet
Primarily herbivorous, the Magnificent Foxface thrives on a diet rich in marine algae, spirulina, and high-quality herbivore pellets. Supplement their diet with occasional meaty foods like mysis shrimp. Consistent feeding helps prevent them from nipping at corals.
