    long nose hawkfish

    the long nosed hawkfish is prolly the most docile of all marine fish, if you have live rock it will find a perch and just sit there till somthing tasty floats by.....but you should have no problem with the hawkfish, when i had my 29 gallon mini-reef it was my favorite fish........ ~Rankin
