Description
Randall's Anthias is a vibrant, schooling marine fish known for its striking pink to magenta coloration, often with a prominent purple stripe along its back. They are active swimmers that thrive in mature reef aquariums with plenty of rockwork for hiding and open water for swimming. This species is a planktivore and requires multiple feedings per day.
