The foxface rabbitfish is a vivid yellow reef fish with a black stripe running through its eye. It lives in lagoons and reefs in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Its fin spines hold venom, so it is one to watch carefully on the reef.1

Sihlala

Indian and Pacific Oceans, from Indonesia to the Marshall and Gilbert Islands, north to Taiwan, south to New Caledonia and Australia1

Ekhaya

It lives in lagoons and seaward reefs where corals grow richly. It has been recorded as deep as 30 m. In Australia it is found on northern and offshore reefs of Western Australia and on the Queensland coast from the northern Great Barrier Reef to the Capricorn Islands.1

Ubude

25 cm (9,8 in)1

Esona santya siphezulu

malunga ne-5 km/h (3,1 mph)

Sitya ntoni?

It eats mostly algae and zooplankton. Juveniles and subadults feed on algae growing on the bases of Acropora corals.1

Indlela yokusiqaphela

Its main colour is vivid yellow, with white on the head and the front part of the body.1
A black band runs from the mouth, through the eye, to the start of the dorsal fin.1
A black area on the breast runs upwards, tapering, to just above the base of the pectoral fin.1
It has a compressed body, a steep head profile, a tubular snout and a weakly forked tail.1
Adults are usually seen alone or in pairs, often near branching Acropora corals.1

Sidla ngokubhidaniswa no: The blotched foxface (Siganus unimaculatus) can be confused with it. The blotched foxface has a large black spot below the soft-rayed part of the dorsal fin, which the foxface rabbitfish lacks.1

Amava anetyhefu

Amava abukhali aphethe ityhefu. Ukusinyathela okanye ukusibamba kubuhlungu.

Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?

Its fin spines hold venom glands, so the venom is delivered through the spines. A study of a related rabbitfish found that its venom was similar to the venom of stonefishes.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: KubuhlunguKunokuba buhlungu ngokwenene, kodwa phantse akusoze kube kubi kakhulu.

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

When threatened, it can camouflage itself by quickly changing colour to a dark brown.1

Ukuba amava aso ayakugwaza

Faka inxeba emanzini ashushu, ashushu kangangoko umntu angakwazi ukunyamezela ngaphandle kokutshiswa (wavavanye ngesandla sakho), imizuzu engama-30 ukuya kwengama-90. Fumana uncedo lwezonyango, ingakumbi kwii-stonefish nakwii-stingray.

Soloko utsalela inombolo kaxakeka kuqala (112, 000, 911). Esi sisikhokelo soncedo lokuqala ngokubanzi, asilocebiso lwezonyango. Iziseko zoncedo lokuqala

Hlala ukhuselekile

Ungaze uchukumise, ubambe okanye uqhule isilwanyana sasendle, nokuba sincinci, kwaye nokuba sibonakala silele okanye sifile.
Sinike indawo. Ukuba udibana naso, hlala uzolile, buyela umva kancinci kwaye usiyeke sihambe ngendlela yaso.
Ukuba amava aso ayakugwaza: hlala uzolile, musa ukushukuma, tsalela inombolo kaxakeka (112, 000, 911) okanye uye esibhedlele ngokukhawuleza. Khumbula ukuba sasikhangeleka njani, ifoto iyanceda.

Asikuzingeli. Sisebenzisa ityhefu yaso ukubamba ukutya okanye ukuzikhusela, kwaye singakhetha ukuzimela. Okungakumbi malunga nokuhlala ukhuselekile

It can change from bright yellow to dark brown in a moment when it feels threatened.1

Young fish sometimes form large schools that graze on algae at the bases of corals.1
