Description
The Tiger Queen Anthias (Pseudanthias lori) is a striking and vibrant reef fish known for its beautiful blend of warm colors, including shades of pink, orange, and yellow. With a streamlined, elegant body, this anthias adds a flash of tropical beauty to mid- and upper-level swimming spaces in the aquarium, often catching light and adding life to the tank with its graceful movements.
As a carnivore, the Tiger Queen Anthias thrives on a diet rich in small, meaty foods like mysis and brine shrimp. Regular feedings of live or frozen foods help maintain its vivid coloration and healthy growth. This species does well when fed multiple small meals throughout the day, mimicking its natural feeding behavior in the wild.
While generally peaceful, the Tiger Queen Anthias is best suited to a community tank with other non-aggressive tank mates. A well-established tank with plenty of open swimming space and live rock for hiding will help this active swimmer feel secure and thrive. Its moderate care level and compatibility with reef setups make it a great choice for aquarists with some experience.
