Description
Resplendent Anthias Pulcherrimus Anthias
The Resplendent Anthias, also known as the Tierra Anthias or Resplendent Goldie, is a captivating fish with predominantly yellow and red color variations. Females have predominately orange bodies with a pink/purple hue and a yellow nose, dorsal fin, and tail fin. Males are predominantly orange with a pink/purple hue and have an almost clear tail and deep pink edges on their pectoral fins. They are known to be hermaphroditic, where the largest female can morph into a male if the dominant male perishes.
Origin
The Resplendent Anthias belongs to the Serranidae family and is native to marine environments.
Feeding Habits
These fish thrive on a varied diet of frozen mysis shrimp, enriched frozen brine shrimp, and high-quality flake foods, offered in small quantities throughout the day. They also benefit from a refugium cultivating copepods and amphipods for nutritious live food.
Suitable Tank Mates
Resplendent Anthias are non-aggressive and are suitable for reef tanks. It's advisable to keep one male with as many females as possible in a very large aquarium to prevent aggression among the fish.
Aggression Level
They are non-aggressive, but in a group, it's essential to prevent individuals from being singled out and killed by the others.
Recommended Experience Level
Moderate experience is recommended for keeping Resplendent Anthias due to their specific care requirements and social behavior.
