Received the female lyretail anthias and it’s vibrant coloration is impressive. The blue eyes stand out well against the blood orange body. It’s active and seems healthy after a few weeks in the 70-gallon tank. The fish has adapted well to the reef setup with plenty of rockwork.

The fish arrived in good condition and matches the description. It’s semi-aggressive but not overly so. I’ve added some additional hiding spots and it’s been peaceful since. Coloration is bright and the eyes are very noticeable.
