Wysiwyg True Golden hawkfish (Cirrhitichthys Aureus)9/10 (pre-order)

Approximate Size: 2”

• Care Level: Moderate – hardy and well-suited for reef aquariums; adapts quickly with proper acclimation

• Diet: Carnivore – thrives on once-daily feedings of mysis shrimp, enriched brine, and finely chopped seafood

• Temperament: Semi-aggressive – typically peaceful with larger tankmates but may show territorial behavior toward smaller fish or shrimp

• Tank Size: 75 gallons or larger – prefers ample live rock and perches to observe its surroundings

• Compatibility: Reef-safe with caution – safe with corals but may prey on small ornamental shrimp or nano fish

• Origin: Indo-Pacific – known for its vivid golden coloration and bold, perch-hopping behavior

• Notes: Unlike free-swimming species, this hawkfish stays low in the tank and uses its pectoral fins to rest on rocks and corals. It does not require constant feeding and is highly tolerant of varied tank conditions.
