Description
The Bimaculatus Anthias (Pseudanthias bimaculatus), also known as the Twinspot Anthias, is a vibrant addition to any reef aquarium. Its stunning pink body is accented with orange and yellow hues along the dorsal fin and tail, creating a visually captivating display. This Anthias is peaceful and well-suited for community reef tanks, making it a popular choice among hobbyists.
Native to the Indo-Pacific, the Bimaculatus Anthias thrives in large tanks where it can swim freely. It is best housed in groups to mimic its natural schooling behavior, helping reduce stress in captivity. A tank size of at least 125 gallons is ideal to provide ample swimming space and support its active nature.
This species is a carnivore, feeding on zooplankton in the wild. In captivity, it requires a diet of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and other finely chopped seafood. Multiple feedings throughout the day are recommended to maintain its health and vivid coloration. The Bimaculatus Anthias is reef compatible and poses no threat to corals or invertebrates, making it a perfect addition to peaceful reef environments.
