Received the anthias in good condition with vibrant coloration. The blue eyes stand out well in the tank. It’s active and seems healthy after a few weeks. Tank is 80 gallons with plenty of rockwork. No aggression observed so far. Satisfied with the purchase.
David Howard –
The fish arrived quickly and looked healthy. Color is bright and the eyes are clearly visible. I’ve had it for about a month now and it’s swimming well in the reef setup. A bit shy at first but now it’s exploring the rockwork regularly.
