The Princess Anthias is stunning with its vibrant sapphire pink body and golden-yellow spots. It’s a true eye-catcher in the tank. After a few weeks, it adjusted well to the lighting and became very active. I’m very happy with the color and the overall presence in the aquarium.

First-time anthias owner and this one made a big impact. The color is vivid and the fish seems healthy. It took a bit of time to acclimate, but once settled, it’s a joy to watch. Good for experienced reef keepers who appreciate color variety.

Beautiful fish with a unique and elegant appearance. The golden flecks stand out beautifully against the pink base. It’s not shy and swims confidently in the tank. I’ve seen it interact with other peaceful fish without aggression.
