Description
The Princess Anthias is an elegant and brightly colored fish known for its striking pink, purple, and orange hues, with a vibrant line that runs across its body. A social and peaceful species, it thrives in reef tanks with plenty of hiding spots and open swimming areas. Princess Anthias are best kept in groups to replicate their natural schooling behavior, which also enhances their sense of security in the tank. They are planktonivores and require frequent feedings of small meaty foods, such as zooplankton or finely chopped mysis shrimp. This anthias is a beautiful and lively addition to established reef systems.
