Notes: Falco’s Hawkfish will spend much of its time perched, looking over the reef waiting to dart out and catch a tasty morsel. It is a very hardy fish, but can be aggressive towards smaller fish, and to new tank-mates. It is best added to the aquarium as one of the last fishes introduced.
Falco’s Hawkfish should not bother coral or clams, but may eat small ornamental shrimp. It is best kept singly in smaller aquariums, or as a pair in larger aquariums. Keep it with other semi-aggressive fishes.
Offer a varied diet of frozen carnivore preparations, marine fish, and/or mysid shrimp.
Medium: 1”- 2”
