Blood red hawkfish

The Blood red hawkfish (Cirrhitichthys fasciatus) is named for its vibrant red color, with some fish displaying orange markings. Originating from the Western Pacific Ocean, this species is distinguished by its compact size and the distinct cirri (filament-like structures) extending from its dorsal fin. While it is not the most common species in the aquarium trade, its striking appearance and manageable size have garnered interest among hobbyists who seek colorful and unique marine fish for their tanks.
