  - Stocky Anthias - Female

  Sold Out

  The Stocky Anthias makes a beautiful addition to the fish-only, invertebrate, or reef aquarium. As its name suggests, this Anthias is slightly broader and shorter in morphology. Males are adorned with an orange back, yellow lines, and a cream-colored underside. The Stocky Anthias does best when kept with its own species in a tank of at least 125 gallons. In their natural habitat, Anthias inhabit well-protected reefs of lagoons and bays. In the home aquarium, Anthias typically dwells in the middle of a tank but appreciates the availability of several hiding places. Anthias species all share the trait of being hermaphroditic. If a dominant male perishes, the largest female of the group will often morph to take its place. Once acclimated to a new aquarium, Anthias do best when fed a varied diet of frozen mysis shrimp, enriched frozen brine shrimp, and over time may eat high-quality flake foods offered in small quantities throughout the day. An attached refugium cultivating copepods and amphipods provides a steady supply of nutritious live food sure to keep this active planktivore content.

  - Redfin Anthias

  Sold Out

  The Redfin Anthias, Rabaulichthys squirei, is a rare and captivating deepwater anthias prized for its striking coloration and elegant schooling behavior. Sometimes referred to as the Squire’s Anthias, this uncommon species displays a stunning blend of fiery orange-red fins, soft lavender hues, and iridescent highlights that shimmer beautifully under reef lighting. Due to its limited availability in the aquarium trade, the Redfin Anthias is considered a true collector’s fish among advanced marine hobbyists. Native to deeper reef slopes in the Indo-Pacific, the Redfin Anthias thrives in peaceful reef aquariums with ample swimming space, moderate flow, and numerous rock overhangs or shaded retreat areas. Like many anthias species, it adapts best when housed in stable, mature systems with excellent water quality and frequent small feedings throughout the day. Although generally peaceful, the Redfin Anthias may become shy if kept with overly aggressive tankmates. It does particularly well in reef environments alongside other calm planktivores, fairy wrasses, gobies, and reef-safe community fish. Groups can sometimes be maintained in larger aquariums, though care should be taken to minimize territorial disputes. The diet of the Redfin Anthias should consist of a varied selection of high-quality frozen mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp, copepods, and finely sized meaty marine foods. Many specimens also learn to accept premium pellets and prepared foods over time. Frequent feeding is important to maintain its vibrant coloration and long-term health. With its rarity, graceful movement, and extraordinary coloration, the Redfin Anthias makes a breathtaking centerpiece for experienced reef aquarists seeking something truly unique and seldom seen in the hobby.

  - Waitei Anthias

  Sold Out

  The Waitei Anthias, Luzonichthys waitei, is also known by another colorful and descriptive common name, the Magenta Slender Anthias. Members of genus Luzonichthys (Slender Anthias), including this uncommon beauty, make sporadic appearances in the aquarium trade and are therefore much desired by hobbyists. The Waitei Anthias is a vibrant fish sporting varying shades of orange, purple and magenta that instantly animate marine aquariums with exciting color. Just as their name suggests, Slender Anthias have elongate bodies and are easily identified by a divided or split dorsal fin. However, distinguishing male from female Anthias within this genus pose a greater challenge since coloration do not differ between the genders. As a relatively shy Anthias species, the Waitei Anthias may require extra "TLC" when first introduced into the aquarium and is best kept in small groups of five or more individuals. The Waitei Anthias is well suited for any reef aquarium housing peaceful fishes. Do not house Waitei Anthias with aggressive or overactive fish especially larger, more active and aggressive Anthias species. Members of the Anthias group all share the trait of being hermaphroditic. If a dominant male perishes, the largest female of the group can morph into a fully functioning male to take its place. In its natural habitat, the Waitei Anthias occurs in large groups on steep outer-reef slopes at depths of 3 to 179 feet of water. To recreate habitat for the Waitei Anthias, aquascape liberally with live rock, creating numerous caves and other hiding places. Be sure to maintain open areas and plenty of surface area for proper water oxygenation. Provide strong water movement to recreate the current swept drop-off areas of the reef slopes Waitei Anthias tend to inhabit in the wild. Once acclimated to a new aquarium, the Waitei Anthias do best when fed a varied diet of enriched frozen mysis shrimp, enriched frozen brine shrimp, and over time may eat high-quality flake foods offered in small quantities throughout the day. An attached refugium cultivating copepods and amphipods provides a steady supply of nutritious live food sure to keep this active planktivore content.

  - Red Saddled Anthias

  Sold Out

  What makes the Red Saddled Anthias a highly desirable addition for the seasoned reef hobbyist is not only the striking multiple pink and yellow colorations but also its active nature, great personality and overall disinterest in corals, sessile invertebrates as well as dissimilar fishes. Due to limited harvest, isolated locales and extreme depth where they are most abundant, the Red Saddled Anthias is rarely seen in the aquarium trade, thus heightening the desirability of this jewel of the deep. The Red Saddled Anthias initially may be difficult to acclimate to a quarantine system. The Red Saddled Anthias are collected in waters of up to 98 feet deep and prefer low to moderate lighting conditions initially but will over time adapt to aquariums with stronger lighting. The Red Saddled Anthias may also find shipping stressful contributing to their difficulty in acclimating. Once the Red Saddled Anthias has completed its quarantine period and are sturdy enough to introduce to your display aquarium, they will thrive and become peaceful members of your aquarium with other peaceful fish. The Red Saddled Anthias should be introduced into your aquarium before other more active, territorial fishes so they can settle in with limited stress. As with many anthias species, the Red Saddled Anthias can be kept singly but does best in small shoals comprised of several individuals. Members of the Anthias group all share the trait of being hermaphroditic. If a dominant male perishes, the largest female of the group can morph into a fully functioning male to take its place. To recreate habitat for the Red Saddled Anthias, aquascape liberally with live rock, creating numerous caves and other hiding places. Be sure to maintain open areas and plenty of surface area for proper water oxygenation. For a dramatic aquarium display, consider a steep reef profile, perhaps with a slight overhang to provide additional shelter as well as diffused lighting. Once acclimated to a new aquarium, Anthias do best when fed a varied diet of frozen mysis shrimp, enriched frozen brine shrimp, and over time may eat high-quality flake foods offered in small quantities throughout the day.

  - Red Fairy Anthias

  Sold Out

  The Red Fairy Anthias is one of the Anthias groups that is moderately easy to keep. Once thought to be the same fish as the Striped Anthias, this was resolved by territorial identification with the Striped Anthias being endemic to the Red Sea, while the Red Fairy Anthias is found in the Red Sea, Maldives and along the Great Barrier Reef. The Red Fairy Anthias is also referred to as the Tricolor Anthias, Red Fairy Basslet, Silver Streak, or Kashiwae Anthias. A well developed lateral red bar and a red caudal fin differentiate the male from a female which only has red tips on the caudal fin and a pinkish-orange body color. This is one of the few Anthias that can be kept with other varieties, e.g.; the Lyretail, Squarespot, and Purple Queen. Use caution when introducing the Red Fairy Anthias to a tank. If there is aggressive or deadly behavior, the fish should be separated. It is best kept in a 125 gallon tank for a group. The Red Fairy Anthias group needs a large amount of room in which to swim. Anthias species all share the trait of being hermaphroditic. Once acclimated to a new aquarium, Anthias do best when fed a varied diet of frozen mysis shrimp, enriched frozen brine shrimp, and over time may eat high-quality flake foods offered in small quantities throughout the day.

  - Carberryi Anthias

  Sold Out

  The Carberryi Anthias (Nemanthias carberryi) also known as the Threadfin Anthias is a very striking fish that originates from the reefs of the Maldives. Carberryi Anthias are very colorful with vibrant purple coloration on the head and abdomen area with a cheerful yellow coloration that beautifully paints the anterior portion of the fish. Carberryi Anthias are very active marine fish that naturally help draw out shier fish that share the aquarium with them. Carberryi Anthias tend to occupy the midwater region of a tank but appreciates the availability of several hiding places. Carberryi Anthias do best when kept in groups or shoals in a species-specific tank of at least 70-gallons. If setting up an anthias shoal, the composition of the group should consist principally of juvenile and female individuals. You should add only one male to the aquarium, unless the aquarium is large enough to accommodate more. Even in a very large marine aquarium setup, the ratio should be highly skewed toward juveniles and/or female anthias (a good rule of thumb would be one male to every four to six females/juveniles). Interestingly, anthias species all share the trait of being hermaphroditic. If a dominant male perishes, the largest female of the group will often morph to take its place. Once acclimated to a new aquarium, Anthias do best when fed a varied diet of enriched frozen mysis shrimp, enriched frozen brine shrimp, and over time may eat high-quality flake foods offered in small quantities throughout the day. An attached refugium cultivating copepods and amphipods provides a steady supply of nutritious live food sure to keep this active planktivore content.

  - Blotched Anthias

  Sold Out

  The Blotched Anthias is a true treasure for both reef aquarists and anthias enthusiasts alike. This coveted deep water anthias has generated a near cult-like following due to its magnificent coloration and sporadic availability in the aquarium trade. A warm pink body color is beautifully accented with irregular-shaped markings of a rustic golden hue. The fins sport a lighter lemon-yellow coloration to provide an invigorating yet subtle contrast. This gorgeous combination of exciting colors appears as though pulled right from a tropical sunset! The anterior dorsal fin demonstrates distinct spines while the soft dorsal fin and tail terminate in graceful filaments for a rich visual display. The attraction to the Blotched Anthias is immediate thanks to these striking qualities. The Blotched Anthias makes a highly-prized and colorful addition to a large, established reef aquarium (the deeper the better). Originating from deep waters, the Blotched Anthias prefers to occupy the lower regions of the aquarium. To best replicate a natural environment, aquascape liberally with live rock to create ample crevices and caves for the Blotched Anthias to seek refuge. However, be sure to maintain open areas and plenty of surface area for proper water oxygenation. An environment with low to moderate lighting conditions is ideal for the Blotched Anthias, but these fishes adapt well to more intense lighting utilized on modern reef aquariums. Once acclimated to a new aquarium, Anthias do best when fed a varied diet of enriched frozen mysis shrimp, enriched frozen brine shrimp, and over time may eat high-quality flake foods offered in small quantities throughout the day. An attached refugium cultivating copepods and amphipods provides a steady supply of nutritious live food sure to keep this active planktivore content.

  - Blood Spot Anthias

  Sold Out

  The Blood Spot Anthias, also known as the Yellow Lined Anthias, makes a beautiful addition to the fish-only, invertebrate, or reef aquarium. Males have three yellow lines and a red spot on their dorsal fin. The red head fades to a vibrant yellow extending to the tail. The Blood Spot Anthias does best when kept with its own species in a tank of at least 125 gallons. In their natural habitat, Yellow-Lined Anthias inhabit steep reef faces and drop-off areas. In the home aquarium, the Anthias typically dwells in the middle of a tank but appreciates the availability of several hiding places. Anthias species all share the trait of being hermaphroditic. If a dominant male perishes, the largest female of the group will often morph to take its place. Once acclimated to a new aquarium, Anthias do best when fed a varied diet of enriched frozen mysis shrimp, enriched frozen brine shrimp, and over time may eat high-quality flake foods offered in small quantities throughout the day. An attached refugium cultivating copepods and amphipods provides a steady supply of nutritious live food sure to keep this active planktivore content.
