Lyretail Hawkfish

Lyretail Hawkfish — Medium

(Cyprinocirrhites polyactis)

Beautiful and uncommon hawkfish with a graceful lyre-shaped tail, yellow to orange body coloration, and an active open-water personality unlike most hawkfish. Instead of constantly perching on rocks, Lyretail Hawkfish spend much of their time swimming in the water column, making them an eye-catching centerpiece for reef and fish-only aquariums. Hardy, personable, and always alert.
