Fathead sunburst anthias

[Famos799]

anybody have one or ever had one? Saw one today and thought it was a really pretty and active fish. I know nothing about them. Too bad I can't afford or even find a blotched though

Had two last month. One died for no apparent reason, the other was eaten by my candy hog (slender two spot) slowly. Pretty fish, but delicate.

Yeah that's what I figured. I'm tired of all the delicate fish lol I never have good luck. I wanna just suck it up and get a pair of helfrichs but I always come up with some excuse lol

I have a trio of them and I don't think they are that delicate. They fared better in hypo qt than my clownfish did. Eating frozen foods well. They won't eat any pellets though.

my next fish will be four of these. I've been waiting patiently for a very long time

Picked one up from Joe at APC a few weeks ago (great price by the way). First few days stayed in the corner of the tank. Thereafter each day it came out more and more and now it's out all the time. Eats very well and there is no problem with other fish. It has no problem going after food with the big boys. Definitely not delicate in my opinion.

I've had one for a few months now. Got beat up by my squam male for the first few days but quickly recovered and joined the other fish for feeding time. Like borbonias, they are not as active as other anthias, but aren't reclusive either. Beautiful fish and definitely recommended
