Description
Lori's Anthias is a stunning, small saltwater fish characterized by its vibrant pink to purple body with distinctive orange stripes. These planktivores are best kept in a mature reef aquarium, ideally in a small harem, where they can thrive on frequent small feedings. They add a beautiful splash of color and active swimming to a peaceful marine setup.
