Description
The Luzon Anthias is a beautiful and active saltwater fish, displaying vibrant pink to orange coloration with distinctive yellow stripes. These schooling fish are planktivores and thrive in established reef aquariums with ample hiding spots and strong water flow. They are generally peaceful but should be kept in groups to reduce stress and encourage natural behavior.
