Longnose Hawkfish

Name: Longnose Hawkfish (Medium)
Scientific Name: Oxycirrhites typus
Maximum Length: About 5 inches
Favorite Things: Perching on branches of stony corals or rock ledges, watching activity from a vantage point, and eating meaty foods like mysis, chopped shrimp, and quality frozen blends. Needs a tight-fitting lid—they’re jumpers.
Best Buddies: Works well with semi-aggressive reef fish (wrasses, tangs, angels, larger clowns). Generally considered reef-safe, but may eat very small shrimp or tiny fish.
