Arc-Eye Hawkfish hiding in Acropora coral
Arc-Eye Hawkfish perched amongst Acropora corals. Arc-eye Hawkfish come in a range of colours from greenish-brown to dark brown to reddish-orange, however they all have their distinctive arc behind the eye made up of three thin lines. They generally perch amongst small branching corals on exposed reef slopes, waiting for their prey to come to them.
