Description
The Flavo Anthias is a vibrant and peaceful species, highly regarded for its dazzling coloration that blends shades of pink, red, and yellow, making it a captivating addition to any reef aquarium. These anthias thrive in groups, creating a natural and visually engaging display when housed with compatible tank mates.
With their moderate care requirements, Flavo Anthias are suitable for aquarists with some experience. They are peaceful fish, typically non-aggressive, and can coexist well with other reef-safe fish species. Their diet primarily consists of meaty foods like mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and high-quality marine fish pellets, and they thrive when offered several small feedings throughout the day.
Ideal for reef setups, the Flavo Anthias is completely reef-safe, posing no threat to corals or invertebrates. This species appreciates a well-structured aquarium with plenty of rockwork to provide hiding spots and areas to explore, helping to replicate its natural habitat.
