Washed in pink and lavender with a golden-yellow back, it hovers and darts in the current like a living gem. It is a peaceful, reef-safe planktivore best suited to an established reef with strong flow and frequent feedings. Intermediate care.

Keep standard reef parameters: 72 to 78 F, pH 8.1 to 8.4, and salinity 1.023 to 1.025. The single most important thing with any anthias is feeding. They are high-metabolism planktivores that need small meaty foods two to three times a day, such as mysis, enriched brine shrimp, and copepods, to hold their weight and color. A healthy pod population or a refugium helps a lot. Anthias are hermaphroditic harem fish, so they do best in a group with one male and several females, and a female will change to male if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003ctable class=\"aq-specs-table\"\u003e\n    \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n    \u003ctbody\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCommon Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eResplendent Anthias (Resplendent Goldie)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScientific Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cem\u003ePseudanthias pulcherrimus\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndian Ocean, deeper reefs around the Maldives\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCare Level\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntermediate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTemperament\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePeaceful\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReef Safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdult Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbout 2.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Tank\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70 gallons (group)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e72 to 78 F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003epH\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.1 to 8.4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSalinity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.023 to 1.025\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarnivore (planktivore), frequent feeding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSaltwater\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe Resplendent Anthias is completely reef-safe and peaceful, so it will not bother corals, clams, or invertebrates and makes a beautiful addition to a community reef.
