Falco hawkfish

[Tarateddy04]

Good afternoon guys!

I've had a falco hawkfish for a year now it's my absolute favourite. But sometimes she flicks same at me when I'm watching the tank. Is this a sign of aggression?

Thanks in advance!

Don't know about aggression but now I've learned about a Falco.

The Falco Hawkfish is such an interesting choice for a reef tank! Its bold personality reminds me of the thrill I get from gambling, especially when exploring new opportunities on the best international betting sites. Speaking of which, I recently found some great options https://nongamstopbetting.info/international-betting/ here. Just like researching tank compatibility for fish, finding reliable betting platforms takes a bit of homework, but it’s worth it in the end! Anyone else have experience with these lively Hawkfish?

Replying for the update.

Edit: Thanks for the info.

This is her, she's in a reef tank with several other fish/corals etc

Is the Falco aggressive to any other tank mates? Sounds like a display- could be aggression or sexual. Or it may just be responding to you being there and not knowing what to make of you. I’ve learned them at marine fish are much smarter than they get credit for!

What you're describing sounds more like a territorial or defensive behavior rather than outright aggression. Falco hawkfish are known for their curious and bold personalities, and "flicking" or quick darting motions can be their way of saying, "Hey, this is my space!" It's common for hawkfish to become quite attached to their territory in the tank, and their behavior can be directed at perceived intruders—even if that's just you watching.

The fish is trying to scare you away.

These are known jerks, will steal food, eat ornamental shrimp and chase/kill anthias and chromis
