Forster's Hawkfish
Paracirrhites forsteri
Like the scorpionfish, this fish ambushes its prey.
Unlike the scorpionfish, hawkfish are good swimmers and don't
try to conceal themselves. Instead, they rely on
patience, perching motionless on corals and waiting for a
potential victim to swim by.
Hurghada, Red Sea |

| Sea Facts:
The bristles of fireworms are
long and poisonous for defense, and are shed readily if a worm
is attacked. Fireworms are beneficial predators and scavengers
on coral reefs. They are known to attack animals, such as
anemones, ten times their size. |
