Hello everyone.

I was just wondering what species of anthias this is.


Thanks

I think it's Pseudanthias rubrizonatus

pseudanthias kashiwae was my first guess but then again I don't know much about anthias.

That´s an Pseudanthias cooperi (Red-bar anthias)

I have 4 in my tank.
They are very hardy anthias.
Mine were caught wild locally.
Immediately on introduction to my tank they started taking Ocean Nutrition Pellets.

Gorgeous. Where do you get them?

 

[AfricaOffroad]

They are quite common off our local coast, and found in the city harbour.
Best caught with scuba anywhere from 6-15m

Ah thanks. I am a diver and would love to gather a few for my tanks. Ooops, I am not in South Africa! Drat!
