[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Pixy Hawkfish (Cirrhitichthys oxycephalus), also known as the Coral Hawkfish, is sometimes referred to as the Spotted Hawkfish, but it should not be confused with Cirrhitichthys aprinus, also called the Spotted Hawkfish.

The Pixy Hawkfish has a highly variable in color from pale with grey to black blotches to pink with bright red blotches to pale with horizontal rows of subquadrate dark brown spots.

Inhabits areas of rich coral growth and clear water of lagoon, channel, or seaward reefs from below the surge zone to depths of at least 40 m. Rests on, in, or beneath hard or soft corals. Feeds on crustaceans and small fishes. Males are territorial and haremic.

Picture is taken at the dive site Eshta on 10 meters depth.

Hej Peter.
Great, very colourful photo. Very good light and sharpness. I don't know what the corals grow on but it really looks artificial. Thanks for sharing.
