The male Squareback Anthias is a standout in any marine aquarium, with a vivid orange-red body, a bold magenta square patch on each side, and yellow-edged fins with pink highlights. Also called the Square Spot Anthias, it comes from the Indo-Pacific, where it lives in busy groups over reef drop-offs.

It does best in a roomy, peaceful reef or fish-only tank with plenty of swimming space and several small feedings a day. Males can be territorial with other males, so keep that in mind when planning your tank. Stop by our Miami shop or call us for price and availability.
