Added the Flame Anthias to my 100-gallon reef tank last month. It’s been active and colorful since day one. The red and orange hues stand out well among the corals. Very peaceful and doesn’t stress other fish. Great choice for intermediate reef keepers.

The fish arrived healthy and settled in quickly. It swims gracefully and adds a lot of visual interest. I’m happy with the color intensity and its calm behavior in the tank.

Perfect addition to my reef setup. The Flame Anthias has become a highlight. It’s not aggressive and blends well with the coral community. Only needed a 75-gallon tank, which I already had.
