Flame Hawkfish

Neocirrhites armatus

Reef Safe with Caution

The Flame Hawkfish, scientifically known as Neocirrhites armatus, is a bold and captivating fish that adds a fiery touch to reef aquariums. With its vibrant red body and distinctive markings, resembling flames, this species stands out as a striking centerpiece. While generally considered reef safe with caution, the Flame Hawkfish may exhibit aggression towards smaller tank mates and may occasionally nip at ornamental crustaceans. Providing ample hiding spots and suitable tank mates can help mitigate potential territorial behavior. With its active swimming behavior and vibrant coloration, the Flame Hawkfish brings both beauty and character to reef environments, making it a prized addition for aquarists seeking to create a visually stunning and dynamic underwater landscape.
