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. Feed this fish meaty foods and provide 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 into the tank, due to its aggression level.
