Description: Despite the common names it is known by, this is not actually a hawk; they are actually more closely related to anthias! Plectranthias are perfect nano reef fish, generally mixing well with all other nano fish. They can be shy and cryptic at times, but are definitely a cool addition to any reef aquaria. They are reef safe, but use caution as they can predate upon small decorative shrimp.
