Love this fish for color and movement. Can pose problems because they do better with constant small feedings.

Watching a school of anthias swim is really enjoyable. I put difficulty to hard because in my case they were very prone to disease. I bought Anthias two different times and they all died of white sores on their body. I believe to be Uronema. The third time I purchased them I set up a quarantine tank. I treated them with Paraguard by Seachem and Metroplex. I had success with this and now have 5 healthy Anthias. Anthias require frequent feeding. I have a an automatic pelllet feeder that goes off 3 times a day plus I feed frozen every other day. Watching the dominant female turn into a make is a cool experience.
