Spotted Hawkfish Joins the Tank!



Yesterday we made a trip to my LFS to look at getting a six line wrasse to replace the cardinal and mandarine i've traded out. But instead i walked out with a Spotted Hawkfish. This individual has mostly white and orange coloration but wears a small greeninsh/brown jacket. Although some can be semi-aggresive i think i found a very docile one as he has been getting along great with his tankmates. This is the first fish that has actually sat still and allowed the cleaner shrimp to perform a complete check-up! Within a hour or two of being added to the tank he was also eating frozen foods so this guy has a very good chance of being a long term addition to the system. I'm keeping an eye on my camel shrimp but i think this guy is gonna be peacefull and just eat the prepared food. I love how he likes to perch on the rocks and he has quite a perky personality, so all in all a very good choice i believe!
Here are a couple pics i was able to get shortly after he was added..... I should be able to follow up with more clear pics soon..
Best Regards
Ryan
