Sam Powell –
The anthias arrived healthy and vibrant. The blue eyes and blood orange color are very striking. It’s been two months in my 80-gallon tank and it’s still active and showing off its colors. Good for a reef setup with proper water parameters.
Gordon Allan –
Beautiful fish with excellent coloration. A bit semi-aggressive, so I made sure to keep it with larger, calm fish. It’s adapted well to the tank and adds a lot of visual appeal.
Molly Lyman –
Highly recommended for reef tanks. The color is vivid and the fish is active. I noticed it interacts with other fish gently, not causing any issues. Very satisfied with the purchase.
