Sacura margaritacea

[flameangel88]

Hi,
I see on the Diver's Den you have the Japanese Cherry Seaperch pair listed and I don't know much about them and can't seem to find info either. I'm hoping you can give me more info about their care requirements, temperature, food and if they are safe with inverts?
TIA!

btw--are they listed under any other common names?

flameangel88,

Thank you for your inquiry. The Japanese Cherry Seaperch can also be researched online using the species name Anthias margaritaceus. They eat zooplankton and other planktonous foods. These are reef safe and will not harm invertebrates. The maximum growth size for this fish is about 6”, and they do well in temperatures of 72-78°F.
