what kind of fis his this ?

[merkurmaniac]

Saw this at my lfs, and was wondering what it was. The guy there didn't know, and lots of tanks were totally mislabeled. Looks sorta like a lionfish in the pic, but I am sure its not. Its about 1-2" long. I am guessing some sort of wrasse or a hawkfish ??

Sorry about the poor pic.

ding ding ding...we have a winner... It wont be going in my 34 gallon hex !!! Really a cool looking juvenile, but an unremarkable adult.

Thanks for the super fast info.

They are pretty cool fish with interesting behavior but I wouldn't even put one in my 300 gallon. They can top out at nearly 1'.

:lol:

The juvenile is an amazing looking fish. I am expecting that I'll do a flamehawk, and a wrasse and maybe a goby. Are flamehawk tuff to find in LFS, or are they easily found ?

I'll be in the market for one in 4-6 weeks.

Flame hawks are quite common and have a lot of personality.

this. But not shrimp safe.

What about stomatella snails, would they likely be safe around a flame hawk?
