Tri-Colour Anthias (Pseudanthias rubrizonatus)
The Tri-Colour Anthias is a stunning and relatively uncommon reef fish, prized for its bold colours and active shoaling behaviour. Its body glows with a mix of pink, orange, and violet hues, with males showing particularly intense colouration. Like other anthias, it is a midwater planktivore, constantly swimming and feeding from the water column. In the aquarium, this species adds both beauty and energy, making it a highlight of larger reef tanks.
