Is the problem because the current is carrying the food away or because other fish are eating it before he gets to it?
If the current is carrying it away, try turning off thepumps for a few minute.
If it is other fish, try feeding the other fish then when the hawkfish comes out, place some food right in front of him. The other fish will be busy eating and not really bother the hawkfish

I never seen a hawkfish with that problem before.The ones at the store get fired up and usually beat the other fish to the food.
But Bj has the right idea to get food to the lil guy.

Yep!
I usually can get hawks to eat mysis shrimp they like chunkier stuff, once you get him use to eating he will probably adapt to what you usually feed.

i love triggers
Longnose hawks must be different from flames,because my flame is the first to get food.He loves shrimp and scallops the most.He will also eat flakes ,pellets, mysis and squid.I sometimes need to feed my others again because he gulps it all up before it can even sink half way down.
