Sunset Anthias - Maldives

Pyronotanthias parvirostris

Sunset Anthias is also sometimes known as Diadem or Shortsnout Anthias are a stunningly beautiful and peaceful fish that thrive in reef aquariums. While generally calm, male Sunset Anthias can display territorial behaviors towards one another, so it’s advisable to keep one male with a group of females to maintain a harmonious environment. Be sure to provide a tight-fitting lid as these Anthias may jump if startled. Females exhibit a more subdued yellow coloration while males are a yellowish pink color with red highlights. As carnivores, Sunset Anthias benefits from a varied diet that includes frozen foods like mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and finely chopped marine meats. For those that are not eating vigorously, enriched live brine may be offered to encourage eating. Given their high energy levels, multiple feedings throughout the day are recommended. Growing up to 3 inches in length, these anthias require a spacious aquarium of at least 70 gallons. In their natural habitat in the Indo-West Pacific Ocean they are often found schooling in deeper waters along reef slopes at depths of up to 200 feet. They thrive in environments with moderate lighting and plenty of open swimming space, making them an engaging and lively species for dedicated reef enthusiasts.
