Longnose Hawkfish

Longnose Hawkfish

The longnose hawkfish is a red fish with a white checked body, small and packed with personality – like most hawkfish.  Longnose hawkfish need rock work to perch and observe his surroundings. Sometimes something will catch their eye and then they pounce, only to retreat back to their perch.  Snails, Hermit Crabs and Sea stars are all fair game to the Hawkfish.
