+ | |tank_compatibility=:This fish is reef safe but will eat smaller invertebrates and also smaller fish, and it can take surprisingly large prey. Keep with robust yet peaceful larger fish. | ||
+ | |environment_specifics=:This is a fairly hardy fish which isn't fussy about water movement and tolerates a wide range of lighting regimes. Provide it with plenty of live rock and caves in which to perch and hide. | ||
− | = | + | |identification=:This fish can be confused with ''[[Cirrhitichthys aprinus]]'', also known as the Spotted Hawkfish, while both species vary regionally in colouration, ''C. oxycephalus'' doesn't have as deep a body and tends to exhibit a pattern of spots more distinctly than ''C. aprinus'', which is more "blotched" in appearance. |
