The Arc-Eye Hawkfish is a bold, perch-oriented fish with an alert, watchful presence. Its distinctive arc-shaped marking around the eye gives the species its name, while its characteristic habit of settling on rockwork and surveying its surroundings makes it an engaging addition to an established marine aquarium.
This approximately 2.5-inch specimen offers the opportunity to observe the hawkfish’s confident, territorial behavior as it explores and claims favorite perches. Its aggressive disposition calls for thoughtful tankmate selection, and reef keepers should use caution when housing it with small ornamental invertebrates.
