A greatArc Eye Hawkfish!
Origin: Eastern Asia

Size info:
Size M: approx. 2 – 3″

There once was an Arc Eye Hawkfish,
With colors that made other fish wish,
Its eyes were so bright,
And its fins were just right,
Swimming gracefully like a kingfish.

It’s known for its vertical stripes,
And its fierce territorial gripes,
But when it comes to food,
It’s in a pretty good mood,
Eating crustaceans, shrimp and all types.

This fish may be small in size,
But it’s definitely a prize,
With its striking appearance,
It’s a true fishy trance,
A gem in the ocean’s disguise.
