General information regarding Longnose Hawkfish
The Longnose Hawkfish Oxycirrhites Typus is white with red stripes that run both vertically and horizontally. They are very entertaining and are fascinating to observe. An aquarium that is large or medium is fine, and it should be fitted with an extremely tight-fitting lid to avoid escape. It is a hardy semi-aggressive species, however, larger hawkfish could overwhelm it. While it is a scavenger for small shrimp and fish it is an excellent reef occupant in the right conditions. It prefers to perch and is concealed with Red Gorgonian Sea Fan or other similar decorations.
