Dwarf Hawkfishes [Amblycirrhitus]

Description

Amblycirrhitus is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes, known as the dwarf hawkfishes due to their small size. They are characterized by their bright colors, distinctive patterning, and the presence of cirri (small filamentous appendages) on the tips of their dorsal fin spines. These fishes are found in tropical and subtropical coral reef environments and are known for perching on coral branches while waiting for prey.
