The Hawkfish Lover Thread!

[Reefbuds]

Hey guys. Noticed there wasn't a thread for one of my favorite fish. Hawkfish! Lets show them off and discuss!

i don't have a hawkfish anymore (he was a falco hawk) but i remember him being bulletproof. He survived a tank with a terrible velvet outbreak at a store and i got him for 50 percent off as a result. He was a pretty chill fish and just like to perch himself on the live rock.

Maybe not as pretty as the Falco, but I sure miss our Flame Hawk, lost last year to Irma. RIP Tony.

Flame Hawk probably my favorite fish in the hobby. Always looks totally confused and as if it should appear on a Simpsons episode

I'm thinking of getting a flame hawk for Christmas. What size tank are yours in? Can a pair be kept in a 75g?

For sure man. I have a 55g and my pair have plenty of room to be comfy. I house them with a pair of clarkii, a 6 line, and an algae blenny. I make sure to feed everyday to keep them happy.. and off of my hermits hehe
I will add tho, they need plenty of rockwork. As long as the rock is there they will stake a claim and a den.

It is true. They will watch and study you. As soon as I walk in after work both of mine come up to the glass begging for food. They don't do it to my wife so they have to recognize me to an extent.

Here's my Long Nose

That is an awesome picture, magazine quality. This is rekindling my interest in getting a long nose.. as I recall they can be questionable with inverts?
