The Pixy Hawkfish, also known as the Coral Hawkfish, is sometimes referred to as the Spotted Hawkfish, but it should not be confused with Cirrhitichthys aprinus, also called the Spotted Hawkfish. The Pixy Hawkfish has a whitish-blue body with large red spots. More

The coral hawkfish spends most of its time resting on substrate supported using its pectoral fins for balance, waiting for small invertebrates or other fishes (to eat, not to play with). More

Some species like the Coral hawkfish is known to pick on small dottybacks, grammas, gobies, dartfishes and even other hawkfish. In this case, if you plan on housing new hawkfish with less-aggressive fish, they should be added last to an already established tank. More
