The Flame Hawkfish is vibrant and adds great color to my 40-gallon tank. It’s active but not overly aggressive. I’ve kept it with a few other reef fish, and it’s mostly peaceful. Only needs a bit of space and a good hiding spot.

Great beginner-friendly fish. It’s colorful and stays in its territory. I noticed it watches other fish closely, so I made sure to keep larger, active tank mates. Works well in a 30-gallon setup.

Arrived quickly and the fish was healthy. It’s very active and shows off its colors well. I’ve had it for two months and it’s still thriving. No issues with aggression so far.
