Received the Evan’s Anthias in excellent condition. The color is vivid and the fish is very active but calm. It has been in my 120-gallon reef tank for three months and shows no signs of aggression. The lighting really brings out the red and yellow accents. A beautiful addition to any advanced reef setup.
