SCIENTIFIC NAME - Cirrhitichthys falco

FOODS AND FEEDING - Meaty marine fare for carnivores, crustacean flesh, Mysid shrimp, fresh / live and frozen preparations. Feed Daily.
REEF COMPATIBILITY - May feed on smaller delicate shrimp, small fish, otherwise, excellent.
CAPTIVE CARE - The Hawkfish acclimates well to captivity but may be shy until acclimated to system. Less dangerous to tank mates than most other available Hawkfish, a good choice for beginners, Not to be trusted with Dartfishes, small Gobies, some Anthias, Flasher Wrasses.
