Cool Fish on Diver's Den
Blotched Anthias..
I think they're cool, but would much rather have a nice Red Sea regal for the same price...
No thanks
I think Slief has a trio in his tank.. I may be mistaken.
This may be the strangest - $249 for this!
What am I missing here? I'd rather have a $5 pajama cardinal.
I assume that fish will stay unsold for quite a while. Think of the fish you can buy for $250.....

That's because it's a juvi. If you ever see an adult blotched Anthias in person their colors are amazing. That said, a juvi blotched anthias shouldn't go for more than $150.This may be the strangest - $249 for this!

A fish store in my area has a huge supermale for sale. I can't imagine what it would look like in a reef with better lighting and other wrasse in the tank. The wrasse came from Quality Marine, LA's order fulfillment vendor.

Oh wow, that one is awesome. Do they call it misbar( like they do most other fish) or does one with those markings have a special name.

There is no juvenile male phase. Protogynous hermaphrodite phases go in this order: juvenile, female, initial phase male, male, terminal phase male. The above fish is jest at the very infancy of transitioning from female to initial phase male. Female caudal and anal fins are opaque, males have color. This one is just beginning to show color in it's finnage.
Sorry, meant "initial phase male" not "juvenile male", so it's colors will change then? Thank you! Purchasing shortly...

Yes, it's colors will change to a degree.

My LFS just got 2 of these in. I think they called them Barbara's Anthias, not 100% on that. $300 a piece
Yep will ship Monday for Tues delivery.. I have never had a package not make it when they said it was coming...
Never tested the salinity in fact I usually do a pretty rapid acclimation (15-20 min drip) and never had any issues
Yes, that's correct. Salinity from DD is usually 1.025.
BTW, you could get Saturday delivery for an extra $15, orders over $175 have free shipping (minus the up-charge for optional Saturday delivery).
