The Freckled Hawkfish, Paracirrhites forsteri, also known as Forster's Hawkfish, Blackside Hawkfish, or the Freckle Faced Hawkfish, features a beautiful red and white body with vibrant red spots across its cheeks and face. There is a dark black splotch towards its anal fin that fades into its red upper half. Juveniles are more of a yellow color and mold into its adult coloration.
The Freckled Hawk is disease resistent making it hardy when cared for properly.
Freckled Hawkfish Care Facts:
- best kept in tanks of at least 75 gallons with plenty of live rock hiding places
- they may eat small ornamental inverts, small fish but will not nip on corals or clams
- it may become territorial with other aggressive fish species
- it will feed on a varied carnivorous diet
- best not to be kept with small timid fish that might become the Freckled Hawk's prey
The first Freckled Hawkfish arrived DOA but they refunded me quickly and the second one arrived and I could not be happier. Grateful for the good service and the speed they replaced the DOA.
