The anthias arrived healthy and active. They have adapted well in my 75-gallon reef tank. The blue-eyed coloration is vibrant and they seem to be getting along with other fish. Easy to maintain with proper lighting and stable water conditions.

Good quality fish with bright colors. They are not overly aggressive and have not caused any issues with my coral. I appreciate the clear description and accurate size. Needs a bit of space to thrive.

Purchased for my new reef setup. The fish are active and show good coloration. They’ve been in the tank for two months and are still healthy. The care instructions were clear and the delivery was prompt.
