The unbelieveable color intensity of the Square Anthias is amazing. Requires large aquarium with rockwork for them to swim through and hide in. Square Anthias are slow acclimators and may likely hide for the first week or more. Males and females are sexually dimorphic. Some females may likely change sex when kept in a group of just females, no males. One or some may turn into a male. Because of their higher metabolism and constant activity in the water column, Anthias require multiple feedings each day. Most Anthias prefer dimly lit tanks, though there are a few that will learn to adjust to brighter lights of reef aquariums and will spend most of their time swimming in the water column and will need ample open water column to do so. It is best to keep one male, or one male with several females. Do not have multiple males of any Pseudanthias or likely aggression will occur. |
Anthias are zooplankton feeders so care should be taken to feed meaty foods for zooplankton feeders. Frozen zooplankton foods will be more readily accepted than flake or pellet until the Anthias grow accustomed to a captive diet. Feed at least 4 times daily. |
