Long-nosed Hawkfish
Predators & Oddballs
A distinctive hawkfish with a dramatically elongated snout and a white body crisscrossed with bright red horizontal and vertical lines forming a checkered pattern. Longnose hawkfish are fascinating to watch as they perch on gorgonians and sea fans, darting out to snatch passing zooplankton. They will eat small shrimp but are generally safe with corals.
