Arc Eye Hawkfish
Arc Eye Hawkfish, Arc-Eyed Hawkfish
Paracirrhitus arcuatus
Size: 6 inches
Minimum tank size: 30 gallons
Reef safe: With caution. Arc Eye Hawkfish may eat ornamental shrimp.
Diet: Meat based foods
Temperament: Some may become territorial and aggressive.
General: Arc eye hawkfish are a colorful addition that can be added to tanks all the way down to 30 gallons. Their interesting perching behavior is something not seen in many fish, but care must be taken when housing them with ornamental shrimps. As they become larger, arc eyes have a tendency to become more aggressive and a greater danger to inverts.
