Received the Evan’s Anthias in good condition. It’s active and peaceful in a 100-gallon tank with live rock. No signs of aggression or coral damage. Only suitable for experienced reef keepers.

The anthias has adapted well after a few weeks. It swims gracefully and doesn’t interfere with other fish or corals. Tank needs to be stable and well-maintained.
