The Red Hawkfish, also known as the Soaring, Swallowtail, or Lyretail Hawkfish. This fish can grow up to 6 inches and will require an aquarium of at least 50 gallon or larger. It can be with other Red Hawkfish if they are introduced to the aquarium at the same time and if there is plenty of room. It is not reef safe as it may eat small fish and shrimp. It has been known to use anemones and large-polyped corals for protection. Their diet consists of mysis, brines, and other meaty foods including live feeder shrimp.

This fish is guaranteed for live arrival.
