In Danca et al. (Int J Bifurc Chaos 26(02):1650038, 2016), it is shown that the Rabinovich-Fabrikant (RF) system admits self-excited and hidden chaotic attractors. In this paper, we further show that the RF system also admits a pair of symmetric transient hidden chaotic attractors. We reveal more extremely rich dynamics of this system, such as a new kind of 'virtual saddles.'
