Orange Lyretail Anthias (Pseudoanthias squamipinnis)

The Anthias is also known as the Scalefin fish. The males have bright red coloration of varying hues while the female Lyretail Anthias tends to be more orange in coloration. The Lyretail Anthias does best when kept in a group and housed in a species-specific aquarium of at least 125 gallons with plenty of swim room. Anthias have the ability to switch sexes. If the alpha male dies, the largest female will morph and take the place of the male, completely changing sex in the process.

This fish is guaranteed for live arrival.
