A great Masked Spinefoot Rabbitfish!
Origin: Eastern Asia

Size info:

There once was a fish named Spinefoot,
Whose beauty was simply a hoot,
A mask on its face,
And spines in its place,
This rabbitfish sure was a beaut!

Is a fish that is quite a hoot,
Its bright colors are neat,
And its spines can't be beat,
This rabbitfish is really quite cute!
