The Bimaculatus Anthias adds vibrant color to my 120-gallon reef tank. It’s active but not overly aggressive and has adapted well to the water parameters. Feeding it a mix of frozen and pellet food keeps it healthy and lively.

I’ve had this fish for three months now. It’s a beautiful addition to the tank and stays calm around other fish. The water conditions are stable, and I maintain the pH and salinity within the recommended range.
