Notes: The Longnose Hawkfish will spend much of its time perched looking over the reef. It is a very hardy fish, but can be aggressive towards smaller fish such as firefishes and dart gobies. They can be kept in pairs if added at the same time.
The Longnose Hawkfish should not bother coral or clams, but may eat ornamental shrimp and small fish. Keep it with other semi-aggressive fishes. Larger hawkfish may harass it.
Offer a varied diet of frozen carnivore preparations, marine fish, and/or mysid shrimp.
