Man, this is a cool fish. He has a really neat personallity. I call him George cause he always wants to know whats going on. Wherever I go thats relatively close to the tank, he follows me. Seems he just wants to watch me more than I watch him.
What kinda fish is he?
Thanks for the help,
Joe

I would say that becuase of the spot pattern on the tail and soft dosal fin and the more inline 4 spot pattern on the body that its a Pixy Hawkfish, C. oxycephalus and not a Spotted, C. aprinus. I could be wrong, juvies look alot alike.....Still very aggressive for its size.
first is a Spotted and second is a the Pixy adults.
