Yellowback Evansi Anthias 1"-2"
It seems like everyone loves Anthias these days, but you mostly see Lyretails on display. If you're looking for something a little different, try the Evansi Yellowback Anthias. These hardy fish have brilliant color and are very active, but also appreciate multiple hiding areas. They are typically found in large groups within the Indian Ocean above outer reef slopes, so adding multiples will help mimic their natural environment. The Evansi Yellowback Anthias will grow to be about 4" in length. They are best kept with other fast moving boisterous fish that can compete with them for resources and food. It is suggested to feed this Anthias multiple times per day as they have very fast metabolisms. For continued health, provide a varied diet of meaty frozen foods, and over time they should accept marine flakes and small pellets. Their body is purple in coloration with a vibrant, thick yellow stripe running on the top half of its body, and an orange stripe from its nose to pectoral fin.
