The Flame Hawkfish, also known as the Brilliant Hawkfish, has a bright red body with dark markings along the dorsal fin and around the eyes. They are a very personable fish, and are great for reef aquariums as long as there are no small shrimp maintained in the aquarium.
It requires a 30 gallon or larger aquarium with plenty of live rock for structure and hiding. They are mostly a peaceful fish that spends most of its time perching and swimming within the branches of hard corals. Use caution when adding to an aquarium with small species of bottom dwelling gobies and blennies. They are bottom dwellers and tend to "hang out" on rock perches, waiting and readying themselves for food to come by.
The Flame Hawkfish diet should include a variety of marine meats, frozen preparations, and live feeder shrimp.

I just love my Flame Hawkfish. He has personality and wonderful coloring. Drs. Foster & Smith delivered a beautiful and healthy fish!
It's been about a week since I received my Flame Hawk. He is adjusting nicely. He is fun to watch, a quick swimmer, and has a brilliant red color. Packaging/shipping was great!
I just love my Flame Hawkfish. He has a beautiful red-orange bright coloring, is not timid, and he "waddles" on the sand. I love him, thanks for sending me such a healthy, cool, colorful, long-lasting fish.
What a great fish! This was the first fish in our 185-gallon aquarium, which we set up 10 years ago. Even at 10, he is just as lively as the first day we had him. I recommend this fish to anyone and everyone.
This fish is a great addition to our tank. Everyone who visits our house loves to watch this entertaining fish. We have had our flame for nine years, and it was the first fish on our "wish list." SO very glad we did get him. Thanks.
