Newbie mistake

I got this fish today, actually a mated pair and I forgot what it is called. Anyone care to help?

Thanks. I got two and they both hangout together hopping from rock to rock. I haven't seen them eat yet though, but it's only been a day.

The Longnose Hawkfish diet should include a variety of marine meats, frozen preparations, and live feeder shrimp. I was looking up the long nose hawkfish and found what they eat. I might have to find one of the for my reef

I hope you have a cover over the tank to prevent them from jumping out.

Longnose hawkfish are cool fish, got mine when he was just a little over an inch long, now he's over 3". Not a picky eater at all, started with brine and mysis shrimp, now he eats pellets if I offer it to him.
