Description
The Hawaiian Longfin Anthias is a vibrant, reef-safe fish endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, known for its striking orange and yellow coloration and elongated pelvic fins on males. These active planktivores thrive in mature reef aquariums, ideally kept in a harem with one male and several females. They require multiple small feedings throughout the day to maintain their health and color.
