The anthias arrived healthy and vibrant. Her color is deep crimson, as described. She’s active and stays near the caves, which is perfect for a reef setup. She’s not overly aggressive, just semi-active, which fits well with my other fish.

She’s a beautiful addition to my 150-gallon tank. I noticed she spends most of her time in the rock crevices. She’s calm but alert, and her color stands out well against the background.
