Hello this is my Red Banded hawkfish. Just got myself a order of t-5 light bulbs. 1 coral plus, 1 blue plus I have 2 more bulbs to replace I may get another coral plus 1 purple plus the blue plus seems real blue I'll have to see how corals look in there.He's in a 75 gallon no roommates at the moment. This was my predator tank. I will be getting him some tank mates. Looking at another eel possibly a skeletor eel, Harlequin tusk. Of course I'll be adding corals as I go. He has a good temper towards other fishes as well as inverts. Just happy I got some light bulbs to see him again. I have had ballasts go out on one of my t-5 fixtures so I grab a back up. Those bulbs went out so he was without any light for a while. That was until I purchased a 48" maxspect razr420 for my other 75 gallon so CR that's my hawkfish's name gets the 4 bulb metal halide combo fixture now. Just had to give him some new bulbs.
 
Nice looking hawkfish! I have a pixy hawk & love the personalities on these guys. They are smart too - mine outscores his tank mates on food @ feeding time.
 
Falco hawkfish I believe. I love my hawkfish, very funny fish to observe. Just hopping and perching here and there
 
Hawk fish are pretty awesome fish to look at.
I used to had a Flame hawk but he died when I kept him in a transfer tank.
Going to get me one soon.
 
A 75 might be a little small for a harlequin tusk

Hawk fish are absolutely full of personality. My flame died randomly the other day, really sad I must always have one.

To the op, beautiful fish thank you for sharing!

Sorry to hear about your flame hawk. I get very attached to my 'personality loaded' fish. Post pics when you get another flame hawk. Also...LA Diver's Den gets in bonded pairs of flame hawks fairly regularly...Just sayin!
