Rabbitfishes or spinefoots are perciform fishes in the family Siganidae. There are 28 species in a single genus, Siganus. In some classifications, the species with prominent face stripes – colloquially called foxfaces – are separated in the genus Lo. But this is now known to be erroneous; indeed some other species like the Masked Spinefoot (S. puellus) show a reduced form of the stripe pattern. Rabbitfishes are found in shallow lagoons in the Indo-Pacific and eastern Mediterranean.
