I’ve kept this anthias for six months in a 75-gallon reef tank. It’s very peaceful and blends well with the corals. Only requires careful water parameter monitoring due to its expert-level care needs. A beautiful addition to a mature reef setup.

The fish arrived healthy and active. It’s not aggressive and stays near the back of the tank. I’ve had to adjust lighting and flow slightly, but it’s adapting well. Good for experienced reef keepers.

This anthias has been a highlight in my tank. It’s colorful, calm, and doesn’t stress the other inhabitants. I’m happy with the purchase and would recommend it to others with a properly sized reef system.
