So I've now had this guy for at least 3.5 years.

I still don't understand people feeding these guys multiple times a day.... Heck there are days my tank doesn't get fed at all.... Used to just buy frozen cyclopeeze and within a few days they were switched to Omega One marine Micro pellets.

Part of me wants to add a few more to get a normal group number, but im happy with the fish I have now.... and don't want to risk it.
Plus I don't think my guy needs girls to boss around to be happy, he rules the tank and bosses the wrasses and damsel so I think he's good.

Here are some older photos of him.

Hes now starting to purple up quite nicely, get the spots on his fins, that large spike as the first ray on his dorsal.
Totally different looking fish now








And Today

Some of those pictures are good candidates for POTM

What kind of Anthias is it BTW.

He is a Lyretail

In that second photo I have a Mirror taped to the glass to distract him. He was being a total turd to my Melanurus Wrasse that I had just added to the tank.
Here he is keeping an eye on his wrasses. Not that you can tell in this photo but the Melanurus is more then twice his size now, yet Anthias is still "king".







I can't wait until he looks like this.
