This Flame Hawkfish, also known as the Brilliant Hawkfish, is characterized by bright red bodies and black-colored lines on its dorsal fin and in the eye region. They are extremely friendly fish and are perfect for aquariums with reefs, if they don’t have tiny shrimp in the tank.
It is necessary to be in possession of 30 gallons or bigger tank that has plenty of live rock to create structures as well as to conceal. They are usually peaceful fish that spends most of their time sitting or playing within the branches of live corals. Be careful when adding them in an aquarium that has tiny saltwater fish like gobies, which live in the bottom, and Blennies. They’re bottom dwellers and like to “hang out” on perches on rocks to wait for food to enter the aquarium.
Your Flame Hawkfish diet should include diverse fresh and frozen seafood and frozen meats, and live feeder shrimp.
