Description
The Threadfin Anthias is a vibrant, schooling saltwater fish known for its elongated dorsal fin ray and striking coloration, which can vary from green to orange-pink with a prominent red stripe on the male's flank. These active fish thrive in mature reef aquariums, requiring frequent small feedings of meaty foods to maintain their health and color.
