Geometric Pygmy Hawk fish

[acrodave]

Are these the only shy hawkfish. I got one about a week ago thinking i will get a puppydog fish like most hawk fish. Well no i have only seen it about a total of a min since i have had it. Any one have one .

These are actually an anthias and not a hawkfish at all. LFS by me had one in a nano tank and it didn't seem shy at all. No personal experience with them beyond that, though.

I have had one for over a year. Great fish but can be cryptic. He tends to hang out in the rock work making multiple daily appearances, especially when its feeding time. Yes, they are related to anthias and are perchlets. Plectranthias Inermis.
