Description
The Silverstreak Anthias is a beautiful, schooling saltwater fish characterized by its orange to pinkish body and a subtle silver or white streak on its flanks. Males often exhibit more vibrant colors and elongated fin rays. They are planktivores that thrive in established reef aquariums with ample hiding spots and strong water flow.
