Can I trust hawkfish in the invertebrate aquarium?
They may eat shrimps and other crustaceans and can even be tempted to eat cleaner shrimps. They will also perch on the branches of gorgonians, possibly causing damage.

Do hawkfish have any worrying habits?
They have a tendency to jump out of the water. If the tank is not covered this could prove to be fatal.
Should I provide any special conditions?
Yes, as hawkfish love to perch on high vantage points, several cured sea whips and sea fans should be provided for the purpose close to the top of the tank.
