Description: The Arc-Eye Hawkfish is an aggressive species that is pink in color, with gold rings around the eyes and a white band along its back. This fish can be found in multiple areas in the Indo-Pacific. The Arc-Eye Hawkfish is a carnivore and should be primarily fed meaty foods. Hawkfish lack a swim bladder, and they should be provided plenty of rockwork for it to perch on. This fish won't bother corals, but will eat crustaceans and fish that can fit in its mouth. This should be the last fish added to the tank, due to its aggression level.
