Received the anthias in excellent condition. The blue eyes stand out beautifully against the blood orange body. She’s active and seems healthy after a week in the tank. Perfect for a reef setup with proper tank size and hiding spots.
Victoria White –
The coloration is vibrant and matches the description. She’s calm in her tank and doesn’t seem to stress other fish. Only issue is she needs a tank of at least 70 gallons to thrive.

Great addition to my reef tank. The movement and color are stunning. I’ve had her for two months and she’s still active and well-fed. The blue eyes are very noticeable and add a lot of visual appeal.
