Falco Hawkfish (Cirrhitichthys falco)

The Falco Hawkfish, also known as the Dwarf Hawkfish, is a small yet bold reef fish known for its charming personality and perching behavior. Its mottled white and reddish-brown body blends beautifully with live rock, while its expressive eyes and upright posture give it a curious, intelligent appearance. Constantly surveying its surroundings from a favorite perch, the Falco Hawkfish brings both character and activity to the aquarium.

Size: Typically grows up to 3 inches in length

Country of Origin: Indo-Pacific region, from East Africa to the islands of the central Pacific

Latin Name: Cirrhitichthys falco

Care Level: Easy – hardy and adaptable; thrives in aquariums with ample live rock for perching and hiding

Falco Hawkfish are carnivores that feed on small crustaceans and meaty marine foods. In captivity, they readily accept mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and finely chopped seafood. They are reef safe with caution, as they may prey on very small shrimp or other tiny crustaceans, but generally leave corals and larger invertebrates unharmed. Their lively behavior and confident personality make them a popular choice for reef and fish-only setups alike.
