| Fast Facts |
Males have a bright red dorsal fin and lack red bands on the tail. The females are yellowish-orange above, pale lavender to white below and the dorsal fin is a paler red, especially the front portion. Like many anthias, this species is often reluctant to feed in the aquarium, with live brine shrimp often being needed to induce a feeding response. Keep only with exceptionally peaceful tankmates. For a hardier Antihas, check out the Lyretail Anthias. They are best kept in groups consisting of one male and several female six or more females and a single male. Provide clean, well oxygenated water, along with plenty of water movement and open swimming space.
