This very unique looking Hawkfish is white with red-brown spots that run diagonally along the body. They have small tufts of bright yellow on the tips of their dorsal fin ray called 'cirri'. They are also sometimes known as the Spotted Hawkfish, but should not be mistaken for Cirrhitichthys aprinus.
A 135L or larger aquarium with plenty of hiding places is acceptable for this hardy and aggressive fish. It should not be kept with larger more aggressive hawkfish. Although it eats small fish and shrimp, with caution, it can indeed make an excellent reef inhabitant.
The Dwarf Hawkfish diet should include a variety of marine meats, frozen preparations, and live feeder shrimp.
