Hawkfish
For Marine Aquariums

Hawkfish are missing something almost every other fish has: a swim bladder. Without it, they can't hover gracefully in open water, so instead they perch — resting motionless on coral branches and rockwork, using oversized pectoral fins to hold their position, then springing down the instant prey comes within range. It's a completely different way of moving through a tank, and it's exactly what gives hawkfish their bold, watchful, almost bird-like personality.

Our Hawkfish Collection

The Flame Hawkfish is the most popular species by a wide margin, prized for its solid fiery-red body. The Longnose Hawkfish stands out with its elongated snout and checkerboard pattern, often perching on gorgonians and black coral in the wild. The Falco, Spotted, and Pixi Hawkfish share a similar mottled, camouflaged look, while the Arc Eye and Freckled species run larger and more assertive. All are genuinely bold, curious fish that tend to recognize their keeper over time.

Why Choose #FisheeeAquariumStorePhuketThailand

We're upfront that no hawkfish is fully invertebrate-safe — corals are never on the menu, but ornamental shrimp and small crabs genuinely are. If you're running a shrimp-focused reef tank, we'll help you think through whether a hawkfish is really the right fit before you commit. #FishShopPhuketThailand

Care tips:

  • Tank size: 115–285 L depending on species

  • Temp: 24–27 °C

  • Salinity: 1.020–1.025

  • Diet: Carnivore — mysis and brine shrimp, chopped seafood, marine pellets

  • Behavior: Genuinely coral safe, but not invertebrate safe — will eat small shrimp and crabs; needs sturdy perching structures rather than open swimming space
