Pygmy Hawk

[arizonaaquarium]

This is my new pygmy hawk. What do you think? He is not really a hawk though. Will get about 2" max.

If it's not really a hawk, what is it?

EDIT: Never mind, I see it is a perchlet

Info. from some page. Sorry, don't remember which one though. "Rarely available to aquarium hobbyists, the Plectranthias inermis, or Geometric Pygmy Hawkfish is colorful and animated. Scientifically, it is a closer relative to Anthias and Groupers than Hawkfish, but is associated with Hawks because of its overall shape and behavior."

is it bothering any of your inverts? and i heard they like to hide alot, hows yours?

[arizonaaquarium]

So far it is not bothering my inverts at all. As far as the hiding, I see it just as often as I would if it was a hawk. I see is quite often. I really enjoy it. I did have a six line in there at one point and then I rarely saw the pygmy hawk. It has beautifu color. I really like it's dorsal fin when it is up.

I just bought a 6 liner over that hawkfish. IT was a tough choice. It is really pretty in person.
