Red Hawkfish

Cyprinocirrhites polyactis

Hawkfish are a generally peaceful, easy to care for family of fish that are suitable for most aquarium environments. They tend to stay perched atop rocks, darting out to feed and then returning back to their perch.

They won't bother coral or other fish - except for other Hawkfish - but they will eat any small shrimp, snails, or other invertebrate in the aquarium.
