Default Lyretail Anthias

Hey Colin,

I believe those anthias are commonly known as Lyrtail Anthias (Pseudanthias squamipinnis). Beautiful fish to say the least especially when the male get's his full color. Good score!!

Cheers,

Paul

Yep. Paul's got the correct ID.
Ive always wanted a school of those in a very large display tank one day.
Too bad about losing some of your fish Colin but the new ones are looking great!

Nice fish! I have the same plans for a school of lyretail in my tank. I've actually purchased an automatic fish feeder specifically for them since my understanding is that they need almost constant feeding.

i was in hidden reef today and they got an awesome shipment of fish. i grabbed a juvenile powder brown and juvenile powder blue tang, both same size and are instant best friends (for now). i also grabbed a tiny regal tang, the healthiest i have seen yet when they are this small. i lost a powder blue about 2 weeks ago and is one of my favorite tangs so i'm trying this one again. they are eating really good so far and have only been in the tank for an hour. the striatus tang does not like them at all. but they are finally pushing back against him. the blonde naso seems to be the referree which is pretty cool. he gets right between them when they are flaring up. the peace maker i guess. they powder blue is really hard to get a pic of as you can tell by the picture. he's so bloody active
