reefer38's 38 gallon reef -HAWKFISH-

[reefer38]

Just came back from the LFS with my final fish addition. its an arc-eyed hawkfish. hes about 2"-2.5" inches. i will post pics of him and the acans and kenya trees as soon as i get my dads camera again. until then, can you guys give me any words of advice for the hawkfish? thanks in advance!

 

edit: i also moved a few dwarf cerith and hermits into my 2.5 aiptasia pico along with the emerald crab cause it was eating the macro algae

one of the least reef safe hawkfish I have heard, will eat the inverts (shrimp & CUC) and probably all your fish when adult. pretty coral safe though.

 

I used to catch them all the time (yes from the ocean) , they are neat fish

 

good looking tank
