I added the longnose hawkfish to my 30-gallon reef tank and it has been active and healthy. It doesn’t seem to attack other fish, but I keep an eye on it near corals. Easy to care for and looks great in the display.

The fish arrived quickly and looks exactly as described. It’s semi-aggressive but not overly so. I’ve noticed it’s more active during the day and stays near the back of the tank.

Perfect for a beginner reef setup. The fish is calm most of the time and doesn’t damage corals. I appreciate the clear information on compatibility and care level.
