Anthias are a genus of colorful, reef-associated fish commonly found in tropical waters. They are a popular choice among aquarists due to their vibrant hues and dynamic schooling behavior. Anthias are generally peaceful and do well in groups, making them ideal for community tanks. They require a diet rich in protein, often needing multiple feedings per day. These fish thrive in well-established tanks with plenty of hiding places and room to swim. They are known for their sexual dimorphism, with males displaying brighter colors and larger fins.
