Description
The Squareback Anthias or Squarespot Anthias Male is a glitzy fish with loads of spunk. Females are yellow to orange and males will be pink to red with a square pattern in the center body. It has long frilly fins that are nicely accented.
This reclusive fish requires slow acclimation and may hide for the first week in a new environment and may be reluctant to feed for several days or more. Keep lower light levels in the tank. Keep only one per tank or one male with several females in a much larger tank. Keep with peaceful tankmates and have plenty of live rock with good shelter areas.
Feed your anthias a varied diet, including small meaty frozen food such as mysis and enriched brine shrimp. Try to transition your anthias to Formula One Ocean Nutrition Small Pellets and Flakes 
for a healthy diet in order to maintain its brilliant colors.
