Flame Hawkfish are carnivores that thrive on a diet of frozen mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and finely chopped seafood. They are generally reef-safe but may occasionally pick at small invertebrates, so caution is advised when housing with delicate corals or shrimp. Flame Hawkfish are best kept singly or in very small groups due to territorial tendencies.
