Common name: Hawkfish

Cirrhitichthys is a genus of marine fish known commonly as hawkfish. These small, colorful fish are characterized by their distinctive pectoral fins which are not fully connected, allowing them to 'perch' on coral branches. They are popular in the reef aquarium hobby due to their hardiness and interesting behavior. Hawkfish are carnivorous, feeding on small invertebrates and crustaceans. They are generally reef-safe but can prey on small shrimp and other tiny tank mates. Their unique appearance and active nature make them a favorite among aquarists.
