    Just wondering if anyone knows what type of hawkfish this is. I used to have one before this one but it jumped out :pissed:. Months later i found another one in my LFS. They said it was a pixie hawkfish but im sure it isn't. I haven't been able to find it at my LFS or any other aquariums since and no one seems to know what it is.

    Anyway heres the pic

    It was only little back then... now he is HUGE for a hawkfish.

    Thats definetly not a Falco, we have always just called those dwarf hawkfish.

    Here is a pic of a Falco.
