Description
The Longfin Perch, commonly known as the Dispar Anthias, is a vibrant and active schooling saltwater fish. Males display striking pink to orange coloration with an elongated dorsal fin ray, while females are typically more yellow-orange. These planktivores thrive in mature reef aquariums with strong water flow and require multiple small feedings throughout the day.
