{"product_id":"flame-hawkfish","title":"Flame Hawkfish","description":"\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Flame Hawkfish is one of the most distinctive and charismatic members of the hawkfish family. Its brilliant scarlet-red body, contrasting black markings along the dorsal fin and around its eyes, and alert, inquisitive expression make it a striking addition to a marine aquarium.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNative to the tropical reefs of the Pacific Ocean, this fascinating species spends much of its time resting among branching corals, rockwork and elevated ledges. Rather than swimming continuously through the water column, it prefers to perch on a favourite lookout, watching the aquarium for movement before making a quick dash to investigate food or a passing tankmate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLike other hawkfish, the Flame Hawkfish lacks a functional swim bladder and uses its strong pelvic and pectoral fins to support itself while resting. Its unusual perching behaviour gives it an almost watchful, bird-like personality and makes it particularly entertaining to observe.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOnce settled, Flame Hawkfish often become bold and confident aquarium residents, readily recognising feeding activity and moving between their favourite perches. Their vivid colouration stands out beautifully against natural rockwork and colourful reef corals.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlthough generally compatible with corals, the Flame Hawkfish is a natural predator of small crustaceans and should not be considered safe with ornamental shrimp, small crabs or other vulnerable invertebrates. It may also show territorial behaviour towards small, peaceful bottom-dwelling fish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith its brilliant colour, unusual habits and engaging personality, the Flame Hawkfish makes an impressive addition to a carefully planned marine aquarium where its natural predatory behaviour can be accommodated.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AQUA HOUSE","offers":[{"title":"Medium","offer_id":67895542284446,"sku":"CLW-MF-NEOARMAT-M","price":275.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/9236\/1374\/files\/FlameHawkfish-01.jpg?v=1793675681","url":"https:\/\/aquahouse.co.nz\/products\/flame-hawkfish","provider":"Aqua House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
