Didn't she feel like darting? or hasn't the demeral worn off yet? Yeah looks like a woman when she gets up in the morning, no coffee, no makeup and looks like the start of a real bad hair day.

Here's mine in his jammies as well if you don't mind. I turned the light on hours after bedtime to take a pic of something else, and he was there in his jammies, so I snapped a few shots.....
One of my favorite fish in a reef tank.

The one in my picture atleast is almost COMPLETELY yellow during the day aside from his head.....they change drastically in color at night. Here's a pic I borrowed since my tank is dark right now.....this is a day time color....crap, hold on....:D
 
thats really cool, i would love to get one but dont have nearly big enough of a tank for it, maybe when i get a 180g at some point, are they peaceful fish or do they fight alot?

Sammy, Outstanding picture!!! Love both of them.
Thomas - No, ever since I moved her to the Lagoon she has been very very friendly. She follows me around like a dog when I'm moving corals or just observing. She's so close it makes me nervous because I REALLY don't want to get stung. I'm alergic to wasp venom and I've heard that Rabbitfish venom is very similar.
Watching her cruise around the Lagoon is sheer joy. She runs circles so fast she makes little waves, then she stops right in from of me and I toss her a piece of Vibragrow.

Beautiful fish!! What would you say is the 'minimum size tank for one?

Melody - I had one in a 55 for over a year, but lost him due to a stray voltage issue. I believe that he was happy but would have been happier in a larger tank, not to mention longer. Mine was a very active swimmer and would have prefered something 5 feet in length. I think in a 55 you could always go for a small one then trade if necessary.
Marine Fishes recommends a 75 gallon tank.

The one I have will eventually outgrow my 90 gallon, but I have no choice because his chore in life is to eat my problem botryocladia. Otherwise, I would say they would be only temporary in a 90 gallon, and he will be traded for a smaller one when he's too big. The LFS doesn't complain too much when you want to trade the same fish for a smaller version.:)
