Description
The Huchti Anthias (Pseudanthias huchtii), also known as the Redcheek Anthias, is a colorful and peaceful fish ideal for community and reef aquariums. With its blend of pink, red, and yellow hues, this species brings vibrant color to any setup. Known for its peaceful temperament, the Huchti Anthias does well in groups, making it a favorite among aquarists who want a lively, schooling fish.
As a carnivore, the Huchti Anthias thrives on a diet of small, meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and other marine-based proteins. Regular feedings throughout the day are recommended to maintain its health and coloration. Suitable for reef tanks, this species is compatible with corals and other peaceful tank mates. A tank of at least 70 gallons with open swimming areas and some rockwork for hiding will ensure this anthias feels secure and exhibits natural behavior.
